Correct. Basically, if we get substantive comments on the recirc, then I
won't submit the draft for the 11/1 deadline (or will have it pulled from
the agenda). I expect the recirc will complete in time to make that choice
ahead of 11/1.

That is possible - if, for example, there were a small number of minor, and
entirely editorial, comments.

As you suspected.
Actually, the fact that you/I had to spell this out "blow by blow" should
give you a small hint that Procedure 10 is somewhat lacking. If the letter
of Procedure 10 is followed, then as long as there are no new *negatives*,
the procedure would allow me to ignore other comments that might be
received. Clearly that would be in conflict with the overall principle that
all comments get due consideration.
And no, that wasn't an offer to propose a rule change!
