I have some concerns on how the Electoral Reform Amendment that would creat districts for Senate elections would work. The thread for the amendment is located here:
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=207022.0

A) change of state of registration every 3 months within the region
Could this lead to citizens moving to another state after the new district map is published (like a process of strategic registration) and that makes the districts unequal when the goal of the map is try to make districts equal

B) the commission shall meet for three months
Some Governors could try to slow down or push for quick agreement on the map. Over three months there will be elections for Governors in different regions since regions don't hold Governor elections in the same month. That means it's possible to have different members on the commission over three months. If the composition of the commission is favorable to a party, those Governors might try to hurry to draw districts before some of them retire or lose while a Governor who is more isolated in the commission might try to slow down the process in hope of a change in the commissioners with the next election happening in some region. Are the Governor members of the commission the same for the whole process or can there be modifications following regional election for Governor during the commission's existence.

C) Is the commission expected to work in secrecy within its members or consulting party officials is expected to happen.
