You didn't see much explanation when the delegation was announced either; nor any effect as a result of it -- Manoj continued editing policy, the previous co-editors continued not contributing, and the new co-delegates participated a little on the mailing list, then more or less vanished. What has happened since is that the delegation has apparently been taken as a mandate for the policy editors to set policy according to their own opinion without any obligation to consult each other, or the developers as a whole. I'm not willing to have delegations exist in that way. > Anthony, I ask you as the DPL, please delay that decision yourself, thus > making this "stupid" voting process unnecessary. The process is already unnecessary, Manoj can continue to maintain policy through his membership in the technical committee, and the only reason he can't revert to the process that's was used since mid '98 until mid last year is that he's put his secretary hat on and read a new interpretation into the constitution that retroactively disallows that.
