Hey Erich,
I'm a relatively new member of the TB and not familiar with how flavors
were granted LTS status in the past but let me share my perspective on
what you wrote.

That said, this seems way too detailed for a repeated LTS. I will
certainly follow this for Edubuntu since it's returning after 10
years, but for Ubuntu Studio, and any other flavor with a prior LTS in
the past two years, this should be a much lower bar.
Checking
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/technical-board/2016-April/002213.html
what I see in this example is 7 bullet points and less than 20 lines of
text (wrapped at 80chars), that doesn't seem a long or unachievable task
to me. Could you be a specifics on what exactly is making the bar too
high in your opinion?
To me it feels like it would have taken you less time to write those
details than those emails...
That said, I'm not standing-down from this challenge, but revising it:
I challenge the Technical Board to revisit and more clearly define
exactly what "Flavor's support plan presented to Tech Board and
approved; support planshould indicate period of time if beyond 18
months (3yrs or 5yr), keycontacts, and setting expectations as to
level of support." means with specifics, as the wording is too vague.
Furthermore, the policy wording is clearly outdated ("18 months"), has
been around too long without revision (2011) and the policy itself
should probably be reworked in collaboration with the Flavor Leads as
is the spirit of Ubuntu.
The page could be probably be a bit more specific on what is asked
indeed. I think it's a fair ask for the TB to review the current wording
and policy and see if we believe changes are needed. We do review
mailing list activity and open questions during our IRC meetings so we
should be able to pick it up next time
Cheers,
Sébastien Bacher
