The timing was such that the announcement arrived
when a lot of people (here in Europe) were already
heading for the weekend - and most likely for
Christmas vacation.
Therefore I raised this issue with the election
subcommittee and made a similar suggestion.
However there were also concerns about extending
the period while the election was already in progress.
Cheers,
Egbert.
