The power to make "small" decisions should be delegated to the people who actually do the things. This is critical in volunteer organizations, in my experience. I'm slightly confused on what you're actually proposing. Are you proposing a council or a leadership team? A council would be "Miniature Debian" and could make decisions faster than a GR, but would not lead as such. A council could be a larger body (in fact, 10 people would be too few, IMO) whereas a leadership team of 10 people is too much (IMO). For the record, I'm *not* suggesting that Debian should have an elected council, I think our GR procedure is good enough to handle cases that would fall into council's area of responsibility. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
