Hello everyone! I totally get most of the “delay”-sentiment and the fact that k-changes or parameter changes at all are hot topics for years. I am convinced we made the mistake in the call notes of 27 July to announce the date as “August 23 is the proposed target date for enactment”. - a perfect template for frustration if this cannot be met. (and it was not met)
Nevertheless, I wanted to assure you all that there is clearly no intentional delay in the above parameter change by anyone or even a “someone is pulling nasty strings in the background”-situation. In fact, we have various observers from the community on the committee (in addition to people from organisations that also came from the community) who can confirm this.
Think it through: Different folks from different organisations coming together, observers, meetings notes, public discussions in the Cardano forum - I guess everyone agrees that this method is so far the best and most transparent way to process requests for parameter changes and to gather feedback in a structured way. Is it perfect? Likely no, but it is not comparable to the situation we had before, where things were held in, I don’t know, a secret room somewhere in the basement of IOG. 
We’re all in this together, and I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding. I would just like to ask you to keep the conversation constructive and support each other.
