I would prefer you retain your seat on the TC at least until the current GR concludes and we see what, if any, action Ian Jackson chooses to take in the wake of that GR. Particularly with Russ' resignation that I read this morning, I would like to avoid resignations precipitating an imminent constitutional crisis, so that the work to draft a proposed GR tweaking things like TC composition, term limits, etc, can proceed with due consideration to a natural conclusion. I'm intentionally not making this a public message in case you'd like to "negotiate" this a bit first. Keeping leader@ in the CC list, though, of course. Let me know what you think and we'll go from there. > I appreciate that the timing is such that this looks like a response to > Joey's mails, or perhaps to some other recent discussions.

I completely understand this, and I suspect many of us on the TC are feeling about the same way right now. I know I am. Thanks in any case for your contributions both to the TC and other parts of the Debian ecosystem over the years. I greatly value them, and your friendship, and look forward to continuing to be able to work together with you on lots more cool stuff in the future! Bdale
