this was already decided at the last meeting:
- clarification on the procedural side of things with transition to new
Council:
* Nominations will always be in the month of July
* Voting will always be in the month of August
* August will always be the last month for a new Council
* New Council will always take over in September
Delays in misc aspects (like setting up infra to allow voting) will
merely
delay the start of the new Council and the end of the old Council. Once
the new Council is voted in and takes over, it will still face the end
date of August. This is to avoid ugly sliding windows over time of
"Council
members serve for a year, but they started late on date XXX so we have
to
delay the start of the next Council by XXX days blah blah blah".
i see no pressing reason to change
