I am puzzled why the process isn't generally more open. The charter says: Progress is dedicated to providing an open platform for the exchange of ideas and, ultimately, the agreement of specifications for each component. Locking something called "community" behind a closed forum in an already login limited site doesn't seem very "open" to me. I'm not sure what a "community draft" is.
