I really do not see why any vote process should take 7 days. If you
are present at the meeting(s) where an issue is being discussed you
can cast a vote yay or nay. If you are not present then you have
forfeited your vote. The vote goes to the majority of those present to
either approve or disapprove the proposal.
I understand we deal with multiple timezones across the globe and if
the meeting time is a problem for those overseas perhaps another time
to hold the meetings should be chosen that is best for the majority.
I will disagree with you here. We are an online community where each
member counts and I believe have the right to express their opinion. As
such and since you may not expect every-one to be always behind its
computer, I do think a small delay is needed (7 days is small).
Just think that people going 2 weeks on holidays with no internet
connection will anyway not be able to participate. I think a week is
good as in people leaving for 1 week holidays would still be able to
vote.
