There used to be no campaigning period at all, so it had been shorter :) >> I realize this doesn't mean you can't keep asking questions once the actual >> election voting start but I wonder if we should cut a few days from the >> nomination and give it to the campaigning. > > I can't find anything that documents how long the nomination period > needed to be, perhaps I missed it?

Duration of campaigning period is not mandated by the TC charter, so left at the appreciation of election officials. > The whole election takes close to 3 weeks of officials time so I'd like > to ask we be mindful of that before we extend things too much It's clearly a balance between having interesting discussions and triggering election fatigue.
