These questions are answered in my platform; in short, the answers are "I think so, yes", and "if possible, yes". IV. DEBIAN'S RELATIONSHIP WITH SPI Here is another issue where substantial progress has been made since last year. However, in my opinion, this progress has been insufficient. SPI is in much better shape than it was one year ago, but there is still much to be done. As Debian Project Leader, it is my intention to recruit volunteers on behalf of SPI and attempt to grow the organization. As SPI Treasurer I am aware that there is a risk of a perceived conflict of interest if I am also elected DPL. I will do whatever is necessary to ensure that any such perception is unfounded and refutable. I think the appointment of a "shadow treasurer" who also receives all mail sent to the SPI Treasurer and to whom I CC all correspondence as SPI Treasurer (as it happens, I already CC the entire SPI board on such correspondence when functioning as SPI Treasurer) would help to achieve this. I am prepared to resign one of these two offices if the general consensus is that it is completely impossible for me function in both of these roles without jeopardizing either organization. However, I am confident that this is a problem that can be solved through accountability and visibility. It is my intent to resign as SPI Treasurer as soon as there are procedures in place to enable future Treasurers to do their jobs efficiently, rather than having to inherit headaches from previous Treasurers who may have neglected their duties.
