I'd do it like this to have it even more compressed and do something
like this:

November 10-16: prepare questions for the candidate questionnaire and
publish them on November 17
November 17-23: Nomination of candidates for open seats
November 25 deadline for candidate to send in answers for the candidate
questionnaire; answers have to be private and get published as a group
November 26: Publish questionnaire responses no later than November 26
November 27 - December 3: IRC town hall meetings (1 or 2 at the
> discretion of the board/committee)
> [...]

Reasons: That gives people that nominate early more then a week to
prepare the answers; those that nominate on the last minute have way
less time, but that's their own "fault".
