How about a phrasing along the following lines?
"Votes are decided by the vote counting mechanism described in
A.6. By default, the voting period lasts for one week. Members
may change their votes during the voting period. The TC can -
even after the voting period has started - declare the voting
period to end earlier if all members of the TC agree to that."
