I believe a decision on this _has_ to be made by the election committee.
I believe the Board should have no direct say in this matter - given half of the Board is up for re-election, the very subject of this topic, the risk of conflict of interest is rather high.
Agreed. Actually, I agree with everything in this response, including:
Therefore, in my role as unelected Chairman, responsible for ensuring continuity in the Project's Board, I'm making an executive decision to _temporarily_ delay the start of voting period, in order to give the Election Committee time to consider their decision.

The Election Committee should feel absolutely free to decide as they see fit. I will wholly and utterly support whatever decision they make in either direction.
They've been entrusted to run these elections. This exceptional executive decision on my part should not be seen as anything other than an administrative necessity to give them a little more time to consider this matter.
