I'd suggest 3 days. Lowering the voting window to 12 hours is, in my opinion, unjustified and will only prevent people to vote in time. It seems that some people scaled the idea according to their needs only.

These voting times are just for the selection of the new, formal working group, so three days may be excessive. But 12 hours is definitely too short and a bit exclusionary for a global community.
