>From Martin Michlmayr from the message I quoted: it's much harder to make a two-year commitment and from personal experience I can tell you that being DPL takes a lot of energy and time. I think a year is good and if the person wants to do it again they can simply stand for re-election. Martin commented on the proposal of making the DPL sit for two years. I would assume (as a potential candidate) that I would be hesitant to run for a two year period even if one year was as 2IC or vice-DPL: the commitment is still for two years, and it's almost as big a commitment as two years as full DPL would be. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
