    <p>Hello Madhvi<br>
      Thanks for the details and for the work staff is doing about it.</p>
    <p>I want to mention just 2 points about the below:</p>
    <p>1 - In the case of online elections 84 days seems like an
      eternity. Could not all these timeline periods be improved be
      reduced to a maximum of 30 to 45 days ? <br>
      For example D+30 for Candidate Nomination Period seems too long.
      Also 14 days for voting is also too long. 1 week should be more
      than enough.<br>
    </p>
    <p>2 - We MUST find a way to be able to have one person - one vote.
      This is fundamental to avoid the PDGW be taken over by certain
      specific interests that would have the means to have fake people
      to vote twice or more, so we have to have how to guarantee that
      not only one person - one vote, but that those who truly
      participate can vote, not just anyone that was able to subscribe
      to the list recently.</p>
    <p>Regards<br>
      Fernando<br>
