I feel this should be considered and voted on at the AGM. Problem:=20 - Scheduling the Foundation election is constrained by the AGM and recordation date requirements in bylaws & state laws.=20 - The entire time period of the election has tended to drag on too long generally. To work backwards from the AGM, can we agree to set recommended periods for the election timeline: Election cycle preamble: YYYY/June/xx: June meeting sets formal approval of dates=20 YYYY/June/16: AGM date announcement ~60 days window=20 YYYY/July/01: Proposed recordation date, must be at least 10 days after Jun= e meeting ** [bylaw requirement??] primary election (30 days): YYYY/July/01: nomination opens, 14 days YYYY/July/15: nomination closes YYYY/July/14: setup day, 1 day YYYY/July/15: voting opens, 14 days YYYY/July/29: voting closes YYYY/July/30: voting results, 1 day secondary election (16 days): YYYY/July/30: nomination opens (automatically triggered by the primary resu= lt publication), 7 days YYYY/August/05: nomination closes YYYY/August/06: setup, 1 day YYYY/August/07: voting opens, 7 days YYYY/August/13: voting closes YYYY/August/14: voting results, 1 day AGM: YYYY/August/15: AGM date Concerns: Could somebody with a more rules-lawyer oriented thought process confirm how the 10-60 days in Bylaw 3.7 constrain the recordation date? --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136 --hLSAHGZhjGZPYsTW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks - The text below is a digital signature.
