This is your "job". <URL: http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-checklist> None of them say `teach your applicant the essence of PKI and then prepare an exam for them to evaluate them' (or something similiar). Your task(s) are not that low-level. They are high-level (identity check, tasks & skills, policy and procedures) and you should expect your applicant to be able to satisfy them without prompting from you. Any prompting you do is a courtesy. Most AMs provide assistance though. > If this is not my task, then this will be thought by the half sentences > of the ftp-masters which will be public to the community.

Or you pointed him to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or any of the task-specific mailing lists (-x, -ipv6, -perl, etc.) that can help. My role is make sure that anyone I approve has the ability to figure out where they need to go for further help and/or information. They can always ask me (of course) but if they have to often then I have failed (in my own opinion). > > But now an offer to all of my applicants: > You can ask for a new AM if you want.
