ALPA is being very deliberate in NOT blasting too many comms, lest they be seen as pushing or "selling" the TA. You aren't alone in noticing the infrequent comms compared to last time, but frankly, it's a welcome change.
I think we have also proven all the gnashing of teeth over the 45-day language and 30-day voting window was just that. We aren't using US Mail anymore, it's time to shorten the voting window. Having a goodly amount of time with the language is good to tease out any problems (or find "soaking" language), but 15 days for voting is plenty, IMO, especially if we are post-amendable.
