I guess I just don't see a announcement stating: "Baring intervention by DDs, Foo Organization will be able to hold assets and accept donations in the name of Debian in two weeks from this announcement" putting much of a procedural road block that will harm legitimate work. > > Is there actually a need to be able to authorize an organization > > without some lead time? > > Perhaps the negotiations for becoming a trustee would take place in > private; with the announcement being made after a long, private, > vetting process? I think that's the very case where we need the time to examine the private vetting process, since there may be no external communication before the announcement. [I mean, it's not like a message to -private couldn't be made if necessary to avoid the outward appearance of a two week delay.] Don Armstrong -- If you have the slightest bit of intellectual integrity you cannot support the government. -- anonymous http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
