That's true, but I think it's appropriate to give them a chance to voice that opinion as a group -- relationships don't work if the parties don't listen to each other, even when they don't have to. Is there something I am missing about why a Debian GR should wait until the SPI board has time to deliberate on it and tell us the results of their reflections? No, I don't think so. I just think it's valuable for us to make sure we have the benefit of their input. Cheers, aj signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So current and prospective members of SPI's board may voice their opinions on this mailing list (as may anyone else, for that matter, since list posting is wide open), I see no reason to wait until SPI's board has made an official statement (since that has no bearing, etc). Is there something I am missing about why a Debian GR should wait until the SPI board has time to deliberate on it and tell us the results of their reflections? A GR should wait - within reasonable time - until developers can have the information they need for a informed decision. Changing something important like this without some statement from the people directly involved in this would otherwise look so rushed that at least my caution would default me to oppose any change.

That is something that should be (and probably is) described in SPI's bylaws. This is true. There seems no reason to mention this in the constitution, since an action by the SPI board can change that, and the constitution amendment would be required to marry the constitution with reality. What would the seconders feel about deleting this sentence from the proposed draft? Yep, makes sense. Seconded as thus amended, with the editorial change proposed by vorlon as well (Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Btw, I agree with ajt that the discussion period should be kept open until SPI board election is over. There's no need to wait for a statement of SPI (you say, correctly, that they don't have any official role in this process), but giving the newly elected board a week to comment if they like would be nice. cheers -- vbi -- Single tasking: Just Say No. pgp5cB1tZzJAQ.pgp Description: PGP signature
