Dima, presumably you're not talking about me, although I proposed that "we
start a vote around October 1".
Anyway, the point of having a policy is so that we don't have to concern
ourselves with the motives of the people requesting the delay or anything
else: we would just handle the request

Hi William,
There is nothing in our department's bylaws to provide for a delay of
voting, but we have a chair and we have an executive committee, and the
