I guess we cannot just resume the canceled vote and I think there's already been too much confusion, so I'll start a new vote now. Sorry for the trouble. Regarding the voting period, can we start a vote with an undetermined end and let it run until we get all the votes that we need? I'll start it with the 3 day period nonetheless. If someone objects in a few weeks and convinces the rest of us, we could probably revert this change without too much effort.
