Please don't make assumption about what I understand and what I don't. This number is big to always have some people active at a given time. > If you want to imagine such a thing as a DPL team, then, the number > of members of the board shall be odd, for obvious voting reasons, and > that number shall be less than 5 (and 5 is already big imho). For the odd number OK, that can be 9 or 11. I don't care. The goal is to have Debian in small and manageable size. A situation where we can at least try to build a consensus. In some cases, the board might decide to do nothing because it's impossible to build a consensus and because taking a decision would be bad. In other cases, the proposer will decide to go for a vote nevertheless. There might be many small decisions where such a structure is overblown. In that case, we will adjust the working: maybe have a chairman of the board who can take small decisions. > If you want to get things done, you must put together a team that is > coherent and that share the same goals. Else your proposal is the best We already share many goals... let's build up on that base with everyone instead of selecting a subset and ask them to represent everybody without imposing their view to the whole project.
