Of course it is desirable to participate as early as possible in the process, but in the end we all have also other things to do, so sometimes you only get to read the details of a certain proposal when it is already in the voting phase.<br>

You won't want those people with typically few dedication to and few experience with OSM to vote on tags (IMHO).<br>
