I'm not sure there is a consensus for this amongst board members.  If 
there are better proposals to be put forward, I, for one, would be happy 
for us to take as long as is reasonably necessary to develop the best 
policy we can.

It also looks as though a lot of people missed (the bulk of) the 
discussion that originally took place, so a lot of useful feedback, 
comments and alternatives may have not been given the opportunity to be 
fleshed out.

Deciding on the policy surrounding escrow of the root key is one part of 
a wider effort to establish the new roots, and I assume that a formal 
decision on escrow policy isn't yet a implementation blocker?
