In that event the ctte would have 6 people rather than 8 for 12 months, at which point the two expirees could be reappointed. (Though another 2 might expire then, keeping it at 6 members) > Not allowing people to be reappointed if there are nominees and they're > just not acceptable may be a design goal, but not allowing reappointment > if there are no nominees does not. I could easily see "acceptability" being defined so that automatic reappointment is a matter of course ("they're the most experienced candidates!", "we know them and trust them!"). Avoiding reappointmnet as a matter of course is a design goal. For more generous definitions of acceptability ("really smart", "knows lots about Debian", "willing to work in a team", "can deal well with disagreements"), I don't think there's a shortage of potential candidates in Debian, so on that score I don't think it's likely there won't be sufficient acceptable nominees. YMMV, of course. (And maybe "willing to put up with the conflict and BS that makes its way to the tech ctte" would narrow the field more).
