Milton,

If you acknowledge that the primary reason for slowness is the amount of 
delay caused by constant carping and demands that every action and nuance 
of action be subject to a fishbowl of public participation, review and 
approval, then perhaps we CAN make some progress.

In other words, it is not interesting to say that things move more slowly 
than most would like.  To make REAL progress, it is essential to say WHY 
they move slowly.

So, Milton, if you really want to make progress, how about making 
suggestions for moving the process more quickly.

And no, please do not say "just accept all applications" or any other 
similar simplification.  It is necessary to pay attention to operations 
effects and, therefore, to make suggestions that reflect responsible 
enhancements to current administration and operations procedures.
