I'd prefer to see 1-year DPL terms and quite a short election process: 1 week for nominations, 1 week for platforms + discussion, 1 week for voting. That should take the pain out of re-election, even as the only candidate, and avoids having to require candidates to commit to two years of DPLship, which can be hard to do, when it requires buy-in from spouses, family, and employers (since the DPL will usually travel a lot). -- Freedom-based blog/wiki/web hosting: http://www.branchable.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
