I would agree with the first of the month if we do this. It also makes it easy to remember.
As for early discussions? I was actually one of the promoters of it (though not the originator), and I found it simply didn't work for my own participation. I work better with a deadline, and that's been true my whole life. Apparently, the participants in the MR club did too, because what we ended up was a sharp decline in the discussion after we tried it. To balance that out, and address some of your concerns, what HAS happened in the MR club is that the voting discussion thread appears to get used for some of those pre-discussion discussions. We don't close the voting and nomination threads off, so people have used them for that. Seems to work well.
