I actually like the halfway position of optionally appointing the 
next-ranking person from the elections (above "nobody" of course) or 
electing a new person.

The delay is a bit annoying though. I don't really see any reason that 
it needs to be longer than 1 week for nomination and another for voting.

I agree with this and have thought about it before. Thanks for proposing 
it!
