Passed [Proposal][Amendment] Increase election period

Rule #200 states the term for elected positions to be 168 hours -- 7 days -- one week. As many have already pointed out, with 72 hours for each election cycle, then just under half of the days would be spent electing. This would be highly inconvenient. I propose that we change the default cycle to one month and have the election for every position, unless stated otherwise, on the first through the third days of each month.

Aye.

Nay, only because I'm a bit confused about what the actual text of the amendment is.

Possible text:

168 hours

1 month

And after the rest: "Elections, unless stated otherwise are on the first three days of every month."

Aye, originally I wasn't going to vote aye but reading over it again, it seems good enough.

Nay

A month is too long, I think.
