That sentenced basically forced me to write a reply. Maybe, before presuming consense, the DPL should talk to the other teams. Otherwise it may happen that they don't agree. Without a reply everyone would expected that we agree, which is apparently not the case. > I'm sure that was not your intention, but to bystanders that gives the > feeling that you're undermining the DPL's authority, and gets in the way > of the DPL doing his constitutional job in this specific area.

In fact I think the dpl is undermining the authority of the delegates when he acts in a way like that. We have a process for such things: people complain and we (the listmasters) act on those complaints. The DPL is still free to overwrite our decision afterwards if we don't agree with him. > No need to threaten resignation about this, I'm sure your work as > listmaster is still very much appreciated in the project (and certainly > it is appreciated by me).
