This discussion apparently does not concern most of those people, maybe because they didn't really engage in the coordination of the conference. It didn't work as we expected, and I'm pretty confident that Marga agrees with us in this aspect. > Alse the content team scheduled an on-site meeting on short-notice at > which all the chairs participated, but is not clear to me that this is > because two of the three chairs are members of the content team and the > thirs one was basically also a member due to summit<->schedule > interactions during DebConf, or whether this was a potential review > discussions of the chairs with the team.

Considering that in our current proposal the coordination team would be dealing only with the next conference edition, we thought that the Chairs could lead this process again. Meaning that we would gather the committee and the "clear plan" would be defined within the committee.
