Ideally, you should ask your question(s) at the begining of the campaigning period, or maybe immediately before, rather than half way through. If you're going to be providing "answers" for people who don't respond to your satisfaction, do this as soon as possible, rather than waiting for the voting period to start. I wouldn't wait longer than a week after your initial post to pose such surrogate answers. Or, if you've jumped the gun and asked during the nomination period, no more than a week after their nomination. It's simpler and probably better to just stick to the campaigning period for q&a treatment of your issues. If you do feel it necessary to add coments after (or immediately before) the voting period has started, they should be wrapped in heavy disclaimers. By definition, comments introduced in the voting period are comments made after the campaigning period has ended. Read the Secretary's announcements for more clues. Jeroem van Wolffelaar's suggestions (http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote/2005/03/msg00010.html) might also be helpful. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
