<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Speaking only for
myself, and not on behalf of the OSMF Board: I will not vote to
change election procedures or the election schedule in the
middle of an election process. My honors baccalaureate in
political science informs me that tinkering with election
procedures during an ongoing election is considered evidence of
fraud and manipulation. I will not be a party to that. Others
may hold different views. Potential candidates knew the
deadlines and had opportunities to nominate themselves; if they
did not, that was their choice.<br>

Changing a timeline could have an impact on the AGM timing.

<br>
Why wouldn't it be? The nomination period is not something
required or defined in the AoA or elsewhere. Now there could
be situations in which changing the deadline could be
problematic, for example shortening it, but a simple extension
would seem to not impact any members rights.<br>
<br>
Obviously the candidates need to be known to the board and
membership before the elections start, but everything else is
likely just our conventions.<br>
