Picking up this subject again, here is a wiki page with the ideas
mentioned in the thread and (currently) my comments on those ideas:

You can check out the proposals, correct if there is anything
wrong/missing, and add more. I am thinking to get some basic voting
going on there so that you can show your preference, although some ideas
are really interconnected.

I would like to keep this topic moving, in order to attempt solving it
early and adjust as we go on.
I have added my comments to the page. I like the second idea: use an internal deadline. "End the cycle for your working group prior to the LDS - go to the LDS having closed all items, and postponed anything that was still opened. "
The team is supposed to start drafting the the next cycle blueprints in preparation of LDS. Effectively, this is what we have been attempting to do.
