Re: GR: Disambiguation of Section 4.1.5 of the constitution



I would suggest a small modification:

* Manoj Srivastava (srivasta@debian.org) [030822 07:05]:
> +   5.2 Initially, the list of foundation Documents consists
> +       of this document, The Debian Constitution, as well as the
> +       documents known as the Debian Social Contract and the 
> +       Debian Free Software Guidelines. The list of the documents

> +       by the developers provided they agree with a 3:1 majority. 
+   5.2 The list of foundation Documents consists
+       of this document, The Debian Constitution, as well as the
+       documents known as the Debian Social Contract and the 
+       Debian Free Software Guidelines. The list of the documents
+       that are deemed to be "Foundation Documents" may be changed
+       by the developers only by changing this clause, which needs
+       according to 5.1 a 3:1 majority. 

Advantage: This makes the list in 5.2 the authoritative list, which
makes it easier later to see which documents are in fact foundation
Documents. (Or to speak in computer slang: normalization of data.)



Cheers,
Andi
