I find somehow disturbing that you raised that for the RFC you don't like, that has to be said :) You also, if I am not mistaken, changed your vote during the week. That's all good, but changing rules to get the results we wish is not going to happen. > In my opinion - based on our actual experience now as opposed to > theoretical predictions which we had back then - one week should be enough > as the default.

One week is too short, I'd to go with two weeks minumum, end date must be set when a vote begins, to avoid any confusions. I will add a vote on that in the voting RFC, as un update, so we will a clear(er) position for the next RFCs. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye
