There was the idea of running this in time for the summit. We get a lot of attention at that point (and potentially newer membership too).

My reading of the bylaws is that the members who have joined during the past 180 days would not be allowed to vote in the individual elections. However, I believe that they would count towards the 25% requirement for a bylaws change. I am far from an expert in these areas so I would be happy for a clarification.
