Revision of election rules

Please see User:AndrewRT/Why change the voting system for the background behind this resolution

To be proposed Whereas past Trustee elections (including the 2013 election) have taken place using the approving voting system,

Whereas this system has performed well in the past, but could be improved to allow voters to sufficiently discriminate between candidates.
