As Marshall's email of 18 July said:

Since the original call went out on the 23rd of June, the
comment period is extended to the 23rd of July.

The 'six changes' reflected interim decisions made by the
Trustees as a result of community input during this period.  A
revised TLP will not be adopted until after the 30 day period,
likely to be while in Stockholm.  Those 6 interim decisions
and the remaining document are still before the community for
feedback to the Trustees.

Ray,

Noting that this issue is included in my request to the Trustees that they review these decisions and the ways of doing business that cause them...

   * There is, as far as I know, no precedent for an
   IETF-related body to announce a public comment period on a
   document, make a series of "interim decisions" and announce
   them five days before the end of that period, and then leave
   the comment period termination date in place rather than
   restarting the review on the revised document.

   * BCP 101 requires that the IAOC and, by extension, the
   Trustees, explain the reasoning for their decisions.  While
   Marshall's "interim" posting arguably does that for the
   changes that were made (the community's comments were
   accepted), it does not do so for any of the changes that
   were not made after other community comments.  Independent
   of when the comment period ends, that makes the interim
   announcement (and probably the original one) invalid.
