The Board was given notice of an 8 digit option, and asked to comment, an
entire week before the second vote began.
On Tuesday, April 30, we posted a message "Second round of discussion and
voting for new CVE ID Syntax" to the Editorial Board, in which we
specifically suggested a year plus 8 digits:

The only response was from Kent Landfield, showing support for our
proposal and bringing up a separate topic.
Since there were no additional comments, but it was apparent that our
email went out to the list, we then proceeded with the vote according to
the schedule.

Speaking only for myself, I was reluctant to draw too much attention to
the fact that we gave a week's notice to the Board, and only one person
responded.
