I'm not adverse to discussing it I just think the best time for doing so is from the time the last election is over up to milestone one. Then we have lots of time for ideas and debate and any suggestions, if accepted, have time to be implemented and communicated so the process is fair for all, candidates and electorate.

> To me, that’s the crux: “during the election”. When exactly should that be? Candidates can (and do) declare up to the very last minute of the nomination window, and ballots go out immediately after that, and voting starts. There really needs to be a period when a) we know who all the candidates are, and b) voting has not yet begun. I would like to see that period be created so that the kind of question/answer/clarify process you mention can happen.

Just to add on to that, it would also be nice to have a better place for 
the questions/answers to be stored. During last week there was a ton of 
great discussion, but when it came to voting time (towards end of the 
week) it was difficult/time consuming to find what each person had said.
