| Message | We would agree with 36, however, we feel the current system is fine. However part II: as we have seen the last week, with all these time-stops, elections only occur on the same time with 42 when the server/software doesn't play tricks. |

| Message | Please note: the proposed term length has been lengthened from 24 months to 36 months, based on feedback from the MDP |

| Message | 36 seems more reasonable than 42. |

| Message | Thinking about it the reason it's 42 months is because that is exactly one real time week, which makes a lot of sense really so we're changing our vote to against. |

| Message | LSU, due to all the errors (months hanging, etc) the time is never the same. We could see it with the last elections: scheduled for saterday, but didn't happen until sunday. |
