Hi,

I am fine to have an election with Adrian Otto, and potentially with other candidates who are also late.

Best regards,
Hongbin

​My dog ate my homework...
My car wouldn't start...
I couldn't figure out what UTC time was...

The guidelines seemed pretty clear:
Any member of an election electorate can propose their candidacy for the same election until September 17, 05:59 UTC​

That being said, a big analysis on date/time selection etc doesn't really seem warranted here or harping on the fact that something 'went wrong'.  I as a TC member have no problem saying "things happen" and those that have submitted candidacy albeit late and are unopposed are in.. no muss no fuss.  I *think* we're all reasonable adults and don't know that anybody had in mind that the TC would arbitrarily assign somebody that wasn't even listed as a PTL for one of the mentioned projects.


It's not so simple for Magnum, with 2 late candidacies. We'll figure it out but yes, we have work to do.


It could be simple: Let magnum have an election with both candidates. As Monty said:

"... this is a great example of places where human judgement is better than rules."
Thanks,
Kyle

Anne


Moving on,
John
