Which brings us back to my initial question. |
13 |
|
14 |
Why is PMS considered so important that it might have a deadline |
15 |
imposed upon it by the Council? As far as I'm aware, nothing like this |
16 |
has been done before. |
17 |
|
18 |
Now, if there's a good reason for the Council imposing a deadline, |
19 |
there's a pretty decent chance that said deadline will be met. If the |
20 |
Council can justify why it needs PMS done in a hurry, PMS can end up |
21 |
being ready within a very short timeframe. If the Council can't justify |
22 |
the deadline, it will end up being done within a not so short |
23 |
timeframe, since all the PMS authors are working upon several things |
24 |
and won't make PMS top priority without good reason. |
