Hi Steven,

The request was not specifically for 8/16 month schedules but more to find a way to add flexibility to the timing and term length since those are attached to development cycles. Currently the Bylaws lay out a 6 month elections and 1 year terms, but there is usually some slight variation from those because of the length of cycles. 8 months seemed to be the safe upper limit and that’s what went in the first draft, but this section has been re-written in the most recent version I sent around this week. Let me know if you have other questions.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Today, I’d like to walk through the changes with everyone, see if there’s anything that needs more refinement and be ready to share the proposed amendments with the whole community.
