If I'm understanding the draft correctly, there would be initial
appointments by the DPL for terms of 2 and 3 years. Then subsequently
elections would be held when those terms expire or a delegate resigns.
What is the rationale for this mix of appointment and election?
I think that I prefer an election. I have understood some of the
conflict between the past chairs and debconf-team to have arisen out of
a sense that the choice of chairs was imposed from above. Preferring an
election, I don't want to wait 2 & 3 years for a chance to vote.
It doesn't make much sense to me at the moment to try to have it both
ways.
