The current charter for the TAB ties the voting to the kernel summit; in the move online we interpreted that as running during LPC, where what remains of the kernel summit is held.
I don't think it has to be that way; it might be better to pick a time of the year when things are relatively calm and just always do the election then. It would require a charter change, but that should be doable.
