I don't think its necessary to change the platform every year, unless a consensus of 2/3(?) agree that it needs updating due to recent events of the last year.

I think what we could do is in early May, hold the elections for Chair and such, then (if there is a consensus) update the platform before the elections, followed with the endorsement process for the upcoming election. (I personally hate a month long process for things because focus is lost and people become uninterested, (that's why I stopped participating in the Great Council), the shorter the planning and election, the better.)

In the case of the November election, just hold the election, then figure out the endorsements.

I still believe that elections for chair and such should happen a month before the executive elections (not delegate unless they happen to coincide), the elections for chair will also happen every other executive election. Chairs and vice chairs will be limited by term limits described above..

The committee will simply hold the power to make small decisions like a statements in response to a random event, and be the official voice in any negotiations. (Any other powers that need to be added?) -- The committee wont technically exist until we have at least 6 members, because until then we are small enough to make decisions together.
