Good question.

I personally think we must follow talking to get the 'perfect' final 
rationale, and later use it in the campaign (managed by the FSF) so people 
can learn, as they have already learnt to use the GPL, etc.

When time come, maybe the communication process should be even more open, so 
more people could give opinions, as it has been done with the GPLv3 process.

Fortunately the association is true-democratic, and so it can re-write the 
charter if members want.  Note the association have to discuss it previously 
with the GNU Project.

Anyway I personally think people must analyze the facts before taking 
decisions.
