Which is why I think talk of a conference debate is wrong. The "debate" took place in the consultation/submission period so unless there is constitutional change needed (and I'm not convinced given how wide the constitution is drawn) it's not something for conference to debate. We elect the FE to manage the party - and the sorts of change this report was about come firmly within their competence. AFAICS the FE has now endorsed this report so all the "communication with stakeholders" has been done. Mind you I bet it will be a lot more exciting a report as a secret than it will in reality :-) Jo is right to draw the distinction. Which is why I think talk of a conference debate is wrong.

They're treating the communication of organisational change as if it were a policy announcement: big mistake, they're very different things.

I doubt there is any vast right wing conspiracy going on. However in the interweb age you can get infomation to people very quickly and the silence so far on Bones was only ever going to be filled with rumours.
