I have no problem with people nominating themselves publicly, but I don't want to require public nominations. DPL nominees have to be public because the DPL is elected by the project at large. > However, the topic here is the DPL election, hence my question is > focused on what the DPL can do, and one possible action is to use the > appointment process to push for more women in the TC. My point is that the appointment process is not the appropriate lever to use, and a candidate who planned to use it as a lever would rank lower for me.[1] The underlying problem of unequal representation in Debian is a serious issue. But before reaching for this as a solution, someone should probably ask people why they did not want to serve on the TC.[2] 1: Of course, if the TC was overlooking nominees on the basis of their gender or other non-relevant factors, then the DPL would be within their rights to request the TC reconsider the slate. 2: Admittedly, I've been meaning to ask people about this myself, but haven't had time. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Fate and Temperament are two words for one and the same concept. -- Novalis [Hermann Hesse _Demian_] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
