I recommend shortening the nomination period by one day (making it an even two
weeks with week 1 as the nominations phase and week 2 as the acceptance phase).
Then we can add one day to the voting period making it Sat-Thu.

We have 800+ members already, more than we had for the first election.  I am
skeptical of the sort of "outreach" Izumi is planning, I expect *full*
submissions and outlines of ANY outreach activity proposed/enacted by Izumi.
