Hi zack@, Thanks for pushing this subject forward, it's a constitutional change I would likely second.

What about something along the lines of "At this time, the terms of members who have been members for more than 54 months automatically expire." ? Another point though: > 5. A Developer is not eligible to be (re)appointed to the Technical > Committee if they have been a member within the previous 12 months. Provided that the expiration happens on January first, does this imply that if A was expired on 01.01.2015, she becomes eligible again on 01.01.2016? As I read the two new clauses, given someone the project really wants on the TC, she can stay 5 years, break for a year and be re-appointed, right? All-in-all, I feel the change goes in the right direction, but I also feel it only goes halfway through (probably the half we can collectively agree on though). The two issues I'd like to see fixed on a longer term are "quite long mandates" (although the fix helps here) and "imperfect representativity of the diversity of the project caused by self- appointment", which I'd like to get fixed through some sort of election through the project. Sorry, I digressed; let's keep that for a later discussion. Cheers, OdyX -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
