The Cardinals can not make a decision for the whole assembly of bishops. Only the assembly of bishops can.

Except Cdl Dulles, each and every cardinal who made the trip is a bishop.

I am sorely disappointed that each and every bishop didn't simultaneously state, that he was going to do these things in his own diocese.

One would think that making these proposals and desiring that they be approved as a national norm was an approval of them for one's one see. If you're not looking for bad guys, they ain't there.

I think the idea is to make it binding on *all* bishops when *all* the bishops meet in June. It makes more sense to do it once, across the board, rather than letting each individual bishop pipe up officially and say "I'm in on this, too." That way, there's no possible equivocation on anyone's part if they're all held to the same standards.
