Mike, ever since we started the 2 + 2 weeks elections, no one has complained to the election officials about the shortened period. Furthermore, the officials started tracking the ballots evolution and in the last 2 years or so, the majority of votes were casted in the first days of an election, followed by a week or so with hardly any votes and a small number of votes casted just before the election was closed. As a member of the elections team and an election official for most (all?) of the elections in the past 3 years, I think that returning to the 1 + 1 month election would be a waste of time. > -mike - -- Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMBkSgAAoJEC8ZTXQF1qEPWgAQAMvVsprQAWb85d+KhVPS3lE0 3WvJ+06eeOWbLln/6+9wjGp7Z2ta7+r6ZUbjJTMSj4A7wxRRb/00bbjqfEdetOwr KXwYP3I4+Cz6tQ3DzgOVCbTM41YSM0gsnsnmNWM8oPGI4wMg0+t2OiZxm2TM510/ QDinuLqlE86g+ImAGAK+lUgAtSWd/AIYf3klziVwJSHmDYkW1YlLzA441IWIxHGd nB1Ui9Lk7g3IRVPrCVZ3UkdPGGO0SvndRrEIC35lIF61qhIHNiYgldcRz+oBEm7a mgdPi6svXn8H5o/mwhCw4nk/SH6MbmaAMOfokAcDQTyeZwtLYMqzHQvzQoWnZ81/ 8Db5IYinfVf15MPX14p0FGW5D1sss0aIPXCMyE533rC+VA0kM4o83HexQqMI5TBa crKGT91w0/gR1WptvjPKFjG1g1gyniw7NbT7rDg4/c/lyYLgC1NsjBDQd6koP9lf 8qkSAtuYYDnIcnVUCtXWPruassG96IUC0oqIb/WCX3Vpy/dx5CFmzgjj1Vs2xbY9 EyMmyUU4VYI9LUyQVcYD4ouECS5HcmbBt1eCrvsQZTn5gv6hB2nt7ofSRoah0Bka eiimKmuZnTkM7n6gn/DFoPVac+i8AdEbhxDpWYF0uRMz0c0YXYqW20jTFv/p1WX4 6MbQ/5rYBLfqHin7+Z6+ =Tx1l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
