Re: [opennic-discuss] [PROPOSAL] 1 year wait before re-voting

I've heard that said about UDRP, actually.  If you lose, adjust something a little and start over.

To Jonah, you suggested in the past revisiting votes you lost on, and are doing that now with Discourse and Discord.
To the person I forget who who was unhappy about .front being voted out, he wanted to vote again (nothing came of it, possibly it was just complaining)
And as for myself, I did the same thing for .free/.libre, and we held a vote for a "nonbinding suggestion" that the TLD owner rejected anyway.

It's just good to have a fixed time limit of some sort on this issue, to keep things stable and ensure integrity of the organization, just like how we voted on your proposals for voting procedures. I think it should be more long-term than short-term, but others here disagree.

I’ll be voting for no change to the current system, barring some extraordinary argument. Is there any precedent for such a system in other democratic setups?
