I like the parentheticals there and would love to see those or

We have some text, but I think we can work on some additional text that
makes it clear that we (the IETF) expect that these procedures are for
exceptional cases where our other procedures don't work, and that we
hope that these sorts of incidents are themselves quite exceptional. My
co-editor with the exceedingly short surname and I will discuss.
I also think those quite
reasonably imply that its in the nature of the ombudsfolk role,
as envisaged, that if they are busy, then the setup has failed
and we should revisit the scheme.
If the ombudsfolk are exceedingly busy, I would suggest that it's more
than the setup of the procedures that is a failure, and that we have a
deeper problem to examine. I am trying to be optimistic that the mere
discussion of these topics while we develop these procedures will cause
people to check their behavior and thereby make the ombudspersons' job
exceedingly boring.
