The issue we're having between SPI and the Debian project is the claim by a couple of SPI board members that SPI only recognises DPL decisions and not any of the other project decision-makers. As far as I can tell, there isn't anything on record disagreeing with that goalpost-move, although there's nothing much to support it either. (Confusing statements by the current DPL about his authoritativity don't help, although he's also promised to relate faithfully any non-DPL decisions, so that isn't critical ATM.) Who is demanding that SPI monitors and/or reacts to debian-vote directly? Personally, I don't care whether SPI monitors debian directly (if there's a problem, SPI will probably hear about it, as many DDs are SPI members). I do care whether SPI refuses to recognise valid decisions just because they aren't DPL-supported. SPI pledges to obey all OFTC decisions. Please do the same for the debian project. Now, those questions: > (1) Does SPI listen only to the DPL, or to other Debian officers as well? > Under what circumstances? To DPL about funding authorisations and new delegates, Auditor about information and Secretary about any other project decisions. > (2) How does SPI determine that an officer has been replaced? AIUI, it depends on how they're replaced: the DPL (delegations) or Secretary (GR outcomes) would notify SPI as appropriate.

Not sure what this is asking.
