I would say this already falls under Constitution 2.1.3 and 5.2.2, which is an elegant solution, from a legal point of view. The Constitution already provides for any person resigning a particular post they hold (with no reason to exclude DPL from this rule), at any time, by stating so publicly, and establishes that elections shall begin immediately in case there are fewer than six weeks remaining (and therefore also in case there is no time at all) before the leadership post becomes vacant (for any reason). -- Guilherme de Siqueira Pastore gpast...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
