I agree with Ed here.<br>
<br>
If we have a stipulated time period set for proposals then grace
period sounds like a real-life deal. However, I would also encourage
the idea of opening this up early and keep the folder ready and
officials review the merge prop 2 months prior to the final date.
It's better to have a final date with longer open period than a
small firm set date.<br>

Also, the schedule is announced 6 months in advance. The candidacy
period is announced when it starts and a reminder is sent a couple of
days before it ends.

+1 to sticking to deadlines. A grace period just mean a different deadline.
I don't, however, see the need for a firm start date. Comparing this to the feature freeze development cycle, in Nova we started opening up the specs for the N+1 cycle early in cycle N so that people can propose a spec early instead of waiting months and potentially missing the next window. So how about letting candidates declare early in the cycle by adding their names to the election repo at any time during the cycle up to the firm deadline? This might also encourage candidates not to wait until the last minute.
