I admit that I don't really understand the standartization process and the relationship between the involved organizations. However, as far as I could tell, INCITS is in a position to say whether they aprove the fast-track process or not.

So, it makes no sense at all. Unless I am losing my mind, not having enough time to review the proposal and the comments is a damn good sign that fast-track is not suitable. This is basic common sense.

If you are being asked to support or not something that you do not understand, and silence means that you agree, the most logical action is not to support it until you have had the time to form an informed opinion.
