There's no need for us to be so strict. I see no reason why the new |
| 7 |
Council can't have their full year. In fact, I'm so confident in it |
| 8 |
being all fair to give them a full year that I propose we just accept it |
| 9 |
and not bother discussing it further. ;] The previous 2 Councils had |
| 10 |
their 12 meetings, why shouldn't this one? |

Let's assume that the new Council will preside from October through |
| 22 |
September. This would have elections done by September 30th, and |
| 23 |
nominations starting on August 1st, as we usually do 1 month for |
| 24 |
nominations and one month for voting. |
