This failed to include USERREL's actions taken in:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282157,
these include a request that the leadership in PMS change:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282157#c16

"About the recurring issues involving PMS, the User Relations team decided to
make the following recommendation:

Its the opinion of the User Relations team that the Council should reconsider
the current Leadership in charge of the PMS Standards Working group. Its the
feeling of User Relations that interested parties in the PMS standard are being
hindered by communication issues on the process and procedures required to
implement changes.

For the User Relations team,
Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto, Joshua Jackson and Homer Parker"

I would like to see a slight expansion in time for 3. (possibly 10 minutes) to address
this issue.
