Tangential to election scheduling but still on the topic of election planning, last cycle a bunch of folks jumped on the "let's shrink the TC!" bandwagon *while* the election process was already underway. That was of course not an appropriate time to talk about changes to election parameters. But now(ish) *is* the right time. So to reopen that discussion we previously put a pin in, how many TC seats should we fill in the coming election, and how many should we delete? There were a few different suggestions, some following a less aggressive timeline than others. We would normally have 7 seats up for grabs in the coming round... do we reduce it to 6 (and work with an even-number-sized TC), or just 5 (targeting a TC of 11 for Ussuri into "V")? Or something even more drastic like just letting them all expire and filling none, immediately down-sizing to a TC of 6 members? Thoughts? -- Jeremy Stanley
