I already gave my answer to this question in a comment on MJ's blog, but I'll repeat the substance of it here for the record. I don't believe the board has given any official statement as a board about this, and I further believe that the only thing that can provide an answer on behalf of SPI board is a board resolution. Any statements from board members that are not simply informing people of the result of a resolution are just speaking in their individual capacities. However, in my individual capacity as a director, it is certainly my intention to vote for SPI to respect decisions of Debian taken according to the Debian Constitution (e.g. via GR) where those decisions override DPL decisions in keeping with the rules of the Debian Constitution, as well as non-overridden decisions made by the DPL. My understanding is that most other board members feel the same way, but I'll let them speak for themselves. If it turns out that a significant number of board members do not feel this way, I'm happy to state it in a resolution for the board to vote on, but I'll wait until the other board members speak up first. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Spi-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.spi-inc.org/listinfo/spi-general
