I have been having a lot of difficulty finding a time when all the candidates can make it.  I have attached a pdf below that shows the basic problem - there is not time that satisfies all of the relevant time zones without forcing someone to participate in the middle of the night.

This did not concern me greatly, because people can vote multiple times with the system we have, with only the last ballot counting, i.e. you can change your mind up until the balloting ends on the 17 October 2359 UTC-11.

I ask NCSG members to suggest the questions you would like to see your eight candidates for council, and one candidate for NCSG Chair answer.  Please send these in as soon as possible so that I can collate them.
