Is there a particular reason it's being delayed until the 14th?

 
Perhaps because that would be close to the end of the Harassment consultation, which is also being managed by other sections of the Community Engagement department? And also after the Community Tech Wishlist consultation?  I'm thrilled to see so many attempts to reach out to the community, but on the other hand if the community is asked to consult on too many things at once, it can have a limiting effect on participation.  Running three major community consultations all at the same time could turn out to be counterproductive, especially at a time of year when so many community members are also deeply involved in activities within their personal life.
