[atlarge-discuss] Re: new schedule for icannatlarge.com elections

[Walter Schmidt <walts@dorsai.org>]

   ...arrrrgh! Talk about a group that never heard of the expressions
"fish or cut bait," "play the cards you're dealt," and "Go ahead and do
it. It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission"  (Rear
Admiral Grace Murray Hopper). I swear, if left to our own devices, the
gestation period of whatever we're discussing would be infinite.

That said, here's my suggestion - simply put, why add/use/lose two weeks
when one will do!:
 
 Not Thu Jul 18              Approval of the new schedule
   instead Tue Jul 16

 Not Fri Jul 19              Official announce and charter sent to voters
- Official announce on the website
   instead Wed Jul 17
   
 Not Mon Jul 29 [Mon Jul 15] Deadline for nominations / voter registration
   instead Mon Jul 22

 Not Tue Jul 30 [Tue Jul 16] Deadline for nomination acceptances -
Candidate pages set up on the website
   instead Tue Jul 23

 Not Thu Aug 2 (I believe you meant the 1st) Final ballot text and voter
list supplied to Elisabeth
   instead Thu Jul 25

 Not Fri Aug 3 (2nd!)        Ballots sent
   instead Fri Jul 26

 Not Sun Aug 5  [Sun Jul 21] Vote starts
   instead Sun Jul 28

 Not Sat Aug 11 [Sat Jul 27] Vote ends
   instead Sat Aug 4
