No one has nominated any new poll topics during the past 24 hours. Earlier I asked if it should be 24 or 48 hours without nominations that ends the nomination period. How about this suggestion, which sounds better to me?: When no one has nominated anything during a 24 hour period, then we designate the following day as the last day for nominations. That avoids the nomination period ending without warning, after only 24 hours of no nominations. But it brings the nomination period to an end when the nominations are obviously ceasing to come in. So let's say that nominations can be made for poll topic till the midnight that ends March 18th, California time. I'm not using California time for any chauvenistic reason. It's just that Greenwich midnight happens earlier than California midnight. Australia, being across the dateline, has its 3/18 midnight much earlier, rather than later than California. So California midnight is later, making for a longer last day for nominations. So far these are the nominations, but let me know if I've missed one or more: A. Months B. List Conduct Petition C. Voting Systems D. Pizza Toppings E. Ice Cream Flavors F. TV shows G. Movies H. Presidential Candidates of 2000. I. Multiwinner systems J. Restaurant menu selections K. Minimum voting age L. Historical figures to bring via time-machine M.
