And actually this election a replacement was recruited in advance as well, but that person subsequently disappeared unexpectedly. The coordinator(s) roles can pretty easily be straightened out for the future but they can't be expected to be filled by a call for help when the election begins. They need to be sorted out well before that point. > I don't think the current schedule would have been an issue if people had > already volunteered to do stuff. I mostly agree, although the current schedule itself was a problem not allowing time to schedule other elements of the election that depend on knowing who the candidates are before they can proceed effectively. I'm optimistic we will do a better job of all of this in the future.
