[governance] Elections for coordinators

[NURSES ACROSS THE BORDERS]

Dear Avri,
What then is democracy if we hold one vote or even
applying the second option?
My suggestion will be to hold the first vote for the
first two year tenure, and declare the next vote open
for ALL when the the next one tenure is getting close.
Thank you.
