My proposal was intended to be straightforward, to answer a simple question: "whether the [Dunc] organisation can be sufficiently "outside" of Debian when the DPL is intimately involved." It obviously failed, many people got it wrong. But I do not understand why people keep writing proposals by mixing different items, some of them being divisive. For instance, your proposal embeds several statements: a. Debian supports its DPL. b. Debian blesses the Dunc project. c. Debian and Dunc are two distinct bodies. In my proposal, I deliberately avoided to say anything in favor of or against Dunc, because we gain nothing with such a statement. If it fails, this will also become a Debian failure, If it succeeds, well, this will also be good for Debian. > If you want, I can propose a second proposal, I don't think there's > any problem with me sending two proposals.

It has a better chance of success if it is proposed by someone who is seen as supporting this experiment. Given the heated reactions, I doubt that I am the adequate person.
