Hi, everyone.

Here's an imperfect proposal that aims to make everyone (un)happy
by combining the different requirements into a consistent system
for Trustee elections:

1. Elections can have up to 2 nomination+voting rounds.  If the first
round does not fill all the seats, a second (shorter) round is run.
If the second round does not fill all the remaining seats, Trustees
appoint the seats as they do now.

2. The elections start early to account for the possibility
of the additional second round.  If elections finish on the first round,
the new Trustees wait for the start of their term.

3. Both rounds include additional options -- '_reopen_nominations'
for the first round, and '_appoint_by_trustees' for the second.  Only
candidates that get voted above those options are immediately accepted
into the seats.  The remaining candidates can still be (s)elected
in the next step.

4. Voting is held when there's at least one nominee.  If there are
no nominees in the round, the voting phase is skipped and the next step
is run immediately.

5. The recording date is to be determined by Trustees, independently,
but will occur no later than 2 months before the AGM (requested
by robbat2).

The idea is that the proposal includes all of it: an explicit ability
to vote against a nominee, second round to give people additional chance
to accept nominations if the first round does not bring satisfying
candidates, and fixed timeline + the ability of Trustees to fill slots
in order to make sure that the Board is complete for its term.

Determining the exact timeline I'm leaving up to the Trustees.

Best regards,
Michał Górny
