The answer to that is simple.

The policy was proposed, and passed without such a provision.  The
time to add to the policy has passed.  Like laws, after they are
passed you can't just magically and easily change them, you must
go back through the whole process.

You can always submit a policy request at the next meeting to change
this policy.

However, I'll go back to the comment I made to Owen.  If you're
going to change the policy, be that add a sunset provision or repeal
it, having data will be useful.  Given the level of support for the
policy I suspect if it has been in place for 6 months and no one
can offer hard evidence of harm that the rehashing of objections
already raised will fall on deaf ears.
