I can't help that I'm a smart ass. But I also hoped to get some people to take action. I also sent you that SIO paper in December, guess you were not paying attention.

Oh, I was paying attention. I brought it up again to make a point. Although the proposal maps a plausible outcome that keeps the majority of kayak anglers fishing, any loss at La Jolla will be excruciating.
The proposal is also nothing more than lines on a map at this point. Anyone can advocate for a particular outcome; actually putting forth MPA network proposals is the province of the regional stakeholders group.
The author could end up on the panel, but he is far more likely to get a spot on the Science Advisory Team. If he does, his job will be to evaluate the various network proposals against objective criteria.

Problem is the little information I'm finding seems to imply there is not a whole lot we can do now. Maybe I'm mis guided... Is there something I'm missing?

There's very little members of the public can do at this point. Some high-level lobbying taking place behind the scenes (I'm not a party to it) - otherwise we are in a waiting mode until the state starts the SoCal process going.
I encourage everyone who cares about our inshore fisheries to get involved when it does.
