Why do we need 2 weeks for notary node elections? This is the first election and as it appears, all the candidates are very likely going to get elected. So what's the point in making the process that long?
The elections are important, and we must give enough time for everyone to participate. No ninja elections
We understand that everyone would like to see KMD on the markets, but basically there's no real rush to do this. We want to make sure we get a good network up with quality notary noes, thus 2 week elections.
That's kind of my point. I thought everyone who would have participated already has. The deadline to announce candidacy is over is it not? And it seems that pretty much all the current candidates will get elected as notary nodes. So at this point, it doesn't make sense to have a two-week long election when everyone running is going to get elected anyway. Would make more sense later on when there are more candidates running to vote for. Maybe there's something I'm missing that you can point out.
but not 100%, so who will arbitrarily determine which contested slots are assigned to which notary nodes? We need to have all the notary nodes determined, so if even a single region is contested, we need to have elections.
Now, if there are no contested spots anywhere, we can just short circuit the election process, but I do not believe that is the case, especially in EU region.
As some context, during some testnet ratification tests, some existing nodes were dropped and the outcry was quite loud. That was for testnet.
