While the delegation is 32 lines, the framework in which teams are
supposed to swim into is not:
https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DecisionMaking
As a short contribution to the discussion, let me emphasize what Raphaël
already wrote before in this thread with my own words:
The current loosely-defined decision-making procedure within the DebConf
Team is extremely frustrating for all involved parts, leads to
unnecessary delays at the worst moments and dilutes the feeling of
responsibility for all parties: chairs can feel distrusted when sub-
teams decide important things on their own; members can feel distrusted
when they are forbidden to take decisions in a timely manner.
The current result of this (IMHO broken) decision-making process is a
lot of frustration for all parties, (temporary) fading out of essential
members of the decision-making process (thereby making the decision-
making process even harder), etc.
Finally, to speak on a personal level, I feel compelled to write that
despite a feeling of responsibility to stay involved in the DebConf
Team, it just doesn't work for me:
* on one hand, local teams are running full-steam ahead for the good
of "their" conference: I feel it's right that they do so and don't
want to step on their toes. I also trust them to come get me if I'm
needed (which I shouldn't…)
* on the other hand, the absence of any significant change in the
team's decision-making processes sucks all my leftover motivation.
To be fair, I feel there is a push towards a change (notably,
madduck's GovernanceProposal), but given the legacy decision-making
process, this push appears to be stuck on the chair's desk who are
either disagreeing or not interested in said change.
The end-result of that is that DebConf falls down my priority list.
Whether that's good or bad for the successes of DC1{4,5} is up to the
reader's.
Cheers,
