The replacement of an explicit voting process with an unspecified process +
schedule seems unnecessarily vague. Especially since the current ElecComm
does not seem to have been party to the decisions around this year's delay.
Drawing from the current Bylaws language, it would be better to add
something like this to IV.3.c.1:
"*The process will be conducted according to a procedure determined by
[the Elections Committee] and approved by the Board*"
And to make ElecComm a standing committee with the same level of support
that others have.
