That’s easier for me, because there isn’t a change of order from the lists
that we’ve had.

Agreed, to both. If we couldn’t change our vote, later voters would have an
advantage.

No reason to not allow it.

I changed my Approval vote after a few minutes.

When no on said anything about the special merits of their nominee, I
assumed that we weren’t going to have that. So I just equal-ranked all of
the ones that I didn’t know anything about, below those I like, & above the
ones I didn’t like.

I just assumed that we’d preference-rank what we know, & middle-equal-rank
the rest.

But is it widely felt that we want a merit explanation & questions time?

If so maybe it would be conveniently-flexible for the next month to be for
advocacy, explanation, & questions.  Or divide the month in half, with the
2nd half for voting.

I don’t have an opinion on those matters. Either answer would be fine.

The month overall remaining duration was just what sounded about right as
an initial default, easily changed by consensus discussion or anyone
calling for a vote.

Sure, or the questions could just be posted, & the nominations would notice
them.

Usual-Judgment is a relative of MJ, but with a different tiebreaker. There
are several of those. Kristofer nominated the whole family.

If the several people in the discussion agree on a parameter, & no one
disagrees when they hear about it. That might be the easiest way to decide
things, with a vote not usually needed, especially because these aren’t
controversial decisions.
