From my reading of the DPL bits, and if I remember correctly, there are a few of what seems to be separate areas: - delegations - finances (approving BSPs, hardware, sponsoring people with visas, etc.) - dealing with external organisations (although not sure exactly what, but press/articles, discussions about copyrights sometimes, maybe conferences?, etc.) - dealing with internal escalations/de-escalating issues Now, I don't follow debian lists very consistently, but I try to read the bits and what surprised me was the reasonable consistency of at least these areas over the past ~year or so I restarted keeping up with things. If this is the case, then I don't see how, for example, the first two areas couldn't be delegated to some committees, maybe the third one as well, and only keep the DPL role as ultimate arbiter/deadlock breaker. Apologies if I'm wildly off-track, but that's the pattern that I saw in the notes :) iustin
