Ned,
I therefore have to question whether we are talking about the actual factors that are _currently_ creating delays.
There is a long tail in the delay distribution that worries me. As an indicator of this tail, there are 34 open DISCUSSes created by former ADs. (er, 3 created by you...).
You make an important point - a common error in organizational change is to measure its effect too soon, and therefore conclude that it hasn't worked. Today's long tail is probably a result of the way the process was operating sometime in 2004 or earlier.
But I get a message that the IESG needs to analyze this long tail some more.
Brian
