<p dir="ltr">Candidates are encouraged to start, as you say, campaigning anytime. I already mentioned on the nominations announce that'd be great to see candidates sharing their ideas for their term on this list. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm open to allow an extra week between nominations and voting, or extending the voting for two weeks, if there's positive feedback about this idea and our Board does not see any good reason to not delay a week the results.</p>
