[CC'ing DPL because I am making a request of him under the Constitution; see below.] By my count, that makes six sponsors for my proposal so far. This exceeds the requirement set forth in the constitution, which only requires 5 other developers. I note that the sponsors of the proposal are the following: Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org> Stevie Strickland <sstrickl@cc.gatech.edu> Peter Crystal <darke@debian.org> Marcus Brinkmann <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> hilliard@debian.org (Robert D. Hilliard) tb@becket.net (Thomas Bushnell, BSG) I verified that all of us are developers using the command gpg --no-options --no-default-keyring \ --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.pgp \ --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-keyring.gpg --list-public-keys using version 2000.08.30 of the debian-keyring package. I therefore ask that this proposal be handled under the Standard Resolution Procedure; I request the minimum discussion period (two weeks). I also would like to request of the Project Leader that this period be reduced to one week per sections 4.2.4 and 5.1.8 of the Consitution, since the matter of this proposal has already been extensively discussed a few months hence in debian-project. I request a voting period of two weeks. This Resolution requires 3:1 supermajority to pass, as it is a Constitutional amendment. A quorum is not relevant (A.6.8). The "default option" per the Constitution, in this case, would appear to be no amendment to the Constitution at all. I should note for the Secretary's convenience that there is another pending Constitutional amendment proposal (a kind of omnibus proposal which includes the text of my amendment along with other changes to the Constitution) which has received its requisite number of sponsors; however, these were independently proposed and neither was offered as an amendment to the other. -- G.
