Yes, we understand the staff is not organized to have a 24x7 coverage but 
don't you
think that this maybe considered a miss about a worldwide election ? 
Time zones were not invented now, and altough we are quitely used to live 
with, dont you think that there is a little bit of 'unequity of support' if we ,for 
example , have to stay up the night to talk to someone and have problems 
solved quickly while instead better time zone favoured regions may do it 
under the light of the sun ?
This is not a complaint now, but it will easily became on the next election 
run I think.. so please consider this msg just as a hint on considering also 
time zone problems when approaching elections next time.

Best regards
Giorgio Griffini

PS. Ok. There is no budget now.  
Hope some will be alloted for next run uh ?
