Just in case folks care, now is the best time to discuss our
election process and suggest options or changes for the next round
of elections. I'm not adverse to discussing it I just think the
best time for doing so is from the time the last election is over
up to milestone one. Then we have lots of time for ideas and
debate and any suggestions, if accepted, have time to be
implemented and communicated so the process is fair for all,
candidates and electorate.
Agreed.
During the election is a wonderful time for posing questions to
candidates in order to clarify their position or stance such that
the electorate can make an informed choice.
To me, that’s the crux: “during the election”. When exactly should
that be? Candidates can (and do) declare up to the very last minute
of the nomination window, and ballots go out immediately after
that, and voting starts. There really needs to be a period when a)
we know who all the candidates are, and b) voting has not yet
begun. I would like to see that period be created so that the kind
of question/answer/clarify process you mention can happen.

Just to add on to that, it would also be nice to have a better place
for the questions/answers to be stored.
Have you a suggestion for where you would like to see them?
Also regardless of what is formally set up, anyone can ask questions
via the mailing list, that option has been used every election that I
have witnessed, I don't see that changing. I don't think it is
reasonable to ask officials to curate mailing list posts. I think
what we are discussing is something in addition to mailing list
discussions. I don't think anything ever would (or should) replace
what comes up on the mailing list.
Anita,
Agree that the mailing list is irreplaceable, a lot of of the
discussion would continue to happen here. I also don't think asking
anyone to curate the answers is scalable.
Great, we agree.
A *suggestion* would be to come up with a set of questions prior to
nomination so that candidates could answer in their self-nomination.
Of course, how we would come up with those questions is then another
issue. Maybe the questions could even be proposed to the election
repo[0], starting with an initial set of questions that are then added
on by others in the community ??? I'm trying to come up with a way to
repeat what you provided in the '14 election without the burden...

I think the format would be up to whomever administrates it since they
would have to do the work, accept the stress and pressure and be
answerable to the community for the choices they make. That is what
worked best for me.
Thanks Thiago,
Anita.
Thanks,
Anita.
During last week there was a ton of great discussion, but when it
came to voting time (towards end of the week) it was difficult/time
consuming to find what each person had said.
