Friends,
We already approved the Election schedule for the Mayor (Article 4, ¶4), and voted that the committee would form after nominations closed.
Here's what we did:
July 24...................Announcement
Aug 23 to Sept 2.....Nominations
Sept 2 to Sept 12....Vote
Sept 22..................Inaugurate
We left zero time for the current Mayor to pick his/her two helpers, explain to the helpers how an IRV is done if that's an issue, set up the ballot with whatever url code is required, and post it.
I'm running a quick poll to move the Announcements and the Nomination period back five days to leave a 5-day window for the committee to get its' act together.
We could shave the time between voting and inauguration, but I really think those ten days are needed for the transfer of information.
It is now ~6:30 am GMT on Friday. I will leave this poll up until 12:00 midnight GMT on Saturday.
