Was it just me or did the "official" period for campaigning/questions was awfully short ?
The schedule [1] went: TC Campaigning: (Start) Oct 11, 2017 23:59 UTC (End) Oct 14, 2017 23:45 UTC That's three days, one of which was a saturday. Was it always this short ? It seems to me that this is not a lot of time to the community to ask (read, and answer) thoughful questions. I realize this doesn't mean you can't keep asking questions once the actual election voting start but I wonder if we should cut a few days from the nomination and give it to the campaigning.
