Wow, storm.debian.net still preserved the text over all this time. Here 
is the latest version, with a few changes:

 * The trademark team doesn't exist anymore (mail about that to
   d-d-a soon), they are folded into treasurer team now, so I
   updated the reference to the trademark team to the treasurer team.

 * I changed the line back about negotiating terms as you mentioned
   in the last mail. At one stage there was lots of confusion
   about what the cloud team does and it caused some problems for me,
   and I think I wanted to prevent that with my initial change, but
   I think that's been much less of a problem for more than a year now
   so I reverted it back.

That said, Is everyone listed below still happy to be part of the 
delegation? Would the delegation be properly staffed or would should we 
also do a call for more volunteers (standard question I know ask during 
delegation updates).

And with that, here's the latest draft:
