This is an amendment to aj's proposal shown at http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2007/07/msg00178.html ==== AMENDMENT PROPOSAL ==== Summary: reduce the campaign-only period to one week. The change to paragraph four is replaced by: 4. For [-three weeks-] {+one week+} after that no more candidates may be nominated; candidates should use this time for campaigning [-(to make their identities-] and [-positions known).-] {+discussion.+} If there are no candidates at the end of the nomination period then the nomination period is extended for [-three further weeks,-] {+an additional week,+} repeatedly if necessary. ==== AMENDMENT PROPOSAL ==== I ask for comments and/or seconds, or aj to accept this amendment. My rationale: The campaign-only period is the most annoying bit of DPL elections, but it escaped cuts in aj's proposal. Why? Let's cut it too! We could shorten the election process even more by removing it, but it looks useful for organising things to have some gap between nominations and voting, yet I don't see why we should keep it at three weeks instead of one. If any candidate wants to campaign for longer, they should nominate as early as possible.(Continue reading)
