Matt --

You're right that we don't want the voting process to impede progress
unnecessarily, but setting a reasonable time period to vote and making
sure that everyone knows the vote is happening doesn't seem too out of
line. It also allows us to wind the vote up after a set amount of time,
otherwise we could end up with votes drifting off into the ether (as has
happened).

Can you suggest another way to handle votes so that everyone gets a
reasonable chance to vote? I'm asking seriously.

Thanks
