With my election official hat on, this is rather short notice. We've announced the number of seats up for election and nominations start at the (UTC) end of today. While I agree reducing the size of the TC sounds worthwhile, realistically I think we need to announce at the start of the new term that it's the plan for the following cycle's election. With my (soon to be former, at least for a cycle) TC member hat on, I suggest that we hold this election as planned but circulate the suggestion of electing fewer seats in coming cycles. Then once the new TC has been confirmed let them decide whether that should be the plan as soon into the new term as possible, and announce that decision so the community will be prepared for it in the next election. -- Jeremy Stanley
