Maybe break the first sentence into two. Orig:

    "The winner of the Debian Project Leader (DPL) 2008 election is
    Steve McIntyre, for one year starting from April 17th, 2008."

Suggestion:

    "The winner of the Debian Project Leader (DPL) 2008 election is
    Steve McIntyre. His term as DPL will extend for one year starting on
    April 17th, 2008."


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Orig:

    "The details of the results shall be soon up at the election page..."

Sugg (switch "be soon up" to "be up soon"):

    "The details of the results shall be up soon at the election page..."


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Orig:

    "Organizations without a common understanding of authority and
     leadership can not survive in the long term. And those with
     direct democratic forms of participation do not tend to scale
     well and are noted for their difficulty managing complexity
     and decision-making, leading to failure."

Sugg:

    "Organizations without a common understanding of authority and
    leadership can not survive in the long term. And those with direct
    democratic forms of participation tend to fail because they scale
    poorly and manage complexity and decision making inadequately."


--------------------------------------------------------------------

Orig:

    "The governance system was already validated in 2006, when a crucial
    conflict was resolved within the approved framework."

Sugg (drops "already"):

    "The governance system was validated in 2006, when a crucial
    conflict was resolved within the approved framework."
