<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">Thanks Tony for starting this thread.
<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">Since we'll be running 4 election cycles over the coming year, I think
<br class="gmail_msg">there is an opportunity for rotating officials and avoiding overlap
<br class="gmail_msg">between officials and candidates in each election. I'm pretty sure
<br class="gmail_msg">everybody has the strongest trust in Tony, but it kind of sets a bad
<br class="gmail_msg">precedent... Of course if we don't have that many candidates then we
<br class="gmail_msg">should continue with the current set of people :)
<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">Another question is whether we want to implement changes in the election
<br class="gmail_msg">process for the upcoming PTL election. In particular, the exact timing
<br class="gmail_msg">of the self-nomination period, and whether we should have a
<br class="gmail_msg">"campaigning" period between nomination closure and election. We changed
<br class="gmail_msg">the charter to give election officials some flexibility there.
<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">Personally I think we could have a slightly longer self-nomination
<br class="gmail_msg">period, a few days between nominations closure and voting start
<br class="gmail_msg">(especially for the TC election), and an in-week voting period.
<br class="gmail_msg">Something like:
<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">Nomination open Monday 1
<br class="gmail_msg">Nomination close Wednesday 10
<br class="gmail_msg">Election starts Monday 15
<br class="gmail_msg">Election closes Friday 19
<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">Once we have a set of officials for the election, this should probably
<br class="gmail_msg">be a specific thread on the -dev ML rather than a discussion here.
