I believe this issue is at least partly caused by the fact that the work of the tech ctte has, for the last two years or so, been effectively split between just two people: Ian is drafting resolutions, and Russ is discussing with involved parties to better understand the situations. As far as I can tell, the activity of the rest of the committee is restricted to voting and the occasional presence at the IRC meetings. I don't think anyone should be critized for that individually, the ctte members are doing volunteer jobs like everyone else in Debian. However, I think institutionally this is a bit of a problem, because this is not how the ctte was intended to function. Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.

Resigning from the TC
I hereby declare my intent to resign from the Debian Technical Committee. The Constitution doesn't really have a clear procedure for handling resignations here; I expect the TC will want to appoint a new member, which I appreciate might take a while. Subject to advice from the DPL and/or the TC Chair, I'd be willing to stay in post until no later than the end of January or until a new member is appointed, or alternatively to have my resignation take effect immediately. Let me know what seems best. I appreciate that the timing is such that this looks like a response to Joey's mails, or perhaps to some other recent discussions. That isn't the case. I've been doing a good deal of refactoring of my life recently as a result of realising that I was burning out [1], and right now it's important that I make an effort to spend my Debian time on things I find relaxing rather than things I've been finding stressful. I also feel that I haven't been able to give as much time to the TC as I'd hoped I would be able to, and I think the project deserves to have somebody who can take a more active part.
