If we assume four-year terms, that'd have been, at max, two members out of the eight. > Personally I think there's more than enough voting going on as it is, > and adding reasons to have more regular votes will just promote the idea > (that is already rather hard to dissuade people of) that all one needs to > do is vote for a thing, and somehow it will magically do itself.

If that's the only reason, make it so people can sit for a maximum of one term before being off the committee for a full term and that effect more or less vanishes. I'm not saying «We should absolutely have an elected TC», I'm saying that I think it's something that's worth discussing. As for Zack's point about this process being underway already: yes, that's the point. If we want to change things about the TC, let's put out a comprehensive proposal instead of changing one thing now and another thing in six or twelve months. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
