The first power enumerated to the DPL in the Debian Constitution is the power to appoint and remove delegates. My questions are directed at determining how you as DPL will use this power to guide the Debian Project.
1) Do you believe past DPL's have used the power of delegation effectively? 2) Are there any current delegations you plan to change? 3) Are there any developers with positions of authority who should be given the official sanction of being delegated this authority? 4) Do you believe that ongoing delegations should be limited in time or indefinite? 5) Do you feel it is better to delegate additional developers to an area of responsibility or to replace delegates when that area is not being handled effectively. 5.1) In new areas that cannot be effectively handled by a single developer, would it be better to delegate the authority to a team or to delegate the authority to an individual and allow that individual to form their own team? 6) Will you explicitly rescind and redelegate all delegated positions if you are elected DPL? 7) Will you resign from any delegated positions you currently hold if you are elected DPL? 7.1) Do you feel that section 2.1.2, namely "that the Leader cannot appoint themselves as their own Delegate", should be understood to mean that the DPL should not hold any delegated positions even when those delegations were made by a previous DPL? 8) Do you feel that more rapid turnover in delegated positions would be beneficial or detrimental to the project? 9) Is there anything about your approach to delegates which will make your administration different from those of past DPLs that was not mentioned? Thank you for your time and your contributions to the Debian Project. John
