I agree with Michelle and would go further to say that the new OGB will 
be elected under the terms of the constitution... that can't happen if 
you're ratifying at the same time you're electing.

Besides, what happens if the constitution doesn't ratify?  You then have 
n people who believe they have been elected that are told "oops, never 
mind".

Voting on both at one time may be expedient but it makes no sense and is 
likely to cause problems.
