I think that other amendments should be considered at the same
time. Here are the other amendments that I would like to propose
be added to the ballot:<br>
<div class="" id="magicdomid8">
<ul class="list-bullet1">
<li><span
class="author-a-z83zz87z9z87zz80zz88zqz74zz82zoz88zi2ju0">Under
"Selection of Coordinators", regarding when elections are
held, change "by midsummer (the summer solstice) to
"within 15 months of the previous election". Also in "If
events prevent an election by midsummer, it will be held
as soon after midsummer as possible," change the word
"midsummer" to "then" in both places.</span></li>
</ul>
</div>

<font face="Verdana">If the charter says 'within 15 months', there
would almost always be a tendency towards delaying and the
election would go to the 15th month, and I am not sure this is the
best thing to do. <br>
<br>
I think we should simply change </font><font face="Verdana"><span
class="author-a-z83zz87z9z87zz80zz88zqz74zz82zoz88zi2ju0">"by
midsummer (the summer solstice)" to "by midwinter (the winter
solstice in the Northern hemisphere) "<br>
<br>
or better still to avoid any valorisation of the North over
South :), to <br>
<br>
"by the December solstice"<br>
<br>
Because we have got into this post IGF elections cycle which is
quite appropriate given the intensive engagement that IGC has
with the IGF...<br>
<br>
However, I dont insist that this amendment is considered at the
same time as the other proposed ones. <br>
