I've found that most TB members don't vote on something immediately. Some might because they've gotten a lot of input before the vote started. Some do so for the same reason & know they'll be traveling, so want to get their vote in. Or they have preset thoughts & it won't matter what the timeframe. Some vote a few days into the process. Some wait to consider additional input if they're truly undecided on something & might not vote until way into the timeframe. Some wait just to wait.

I don't see this proposal changing any of that.

Cheers.
TalkBoard knows best.
