I think the DAMs should have a more powerful role with a clearer
process definition, similar to those of the DPL, tech-ctte and
Secretary. That would mostly be consolidation of 8.1.2, a DAM
delegation and a NM framework, but I'd like to put up for approval the
ideas of a three-strikes disciplinary process, DAMs being appointed by
DDs not DPLs (suggested since at least 2001 AFAICT) and a different NM
system, as well as the process definition.

I feel that would perpetuate undesirable aspects of the current setup.
Anyway, this may be different for more well-respected DDs, but IIRC,
I've received no reply from DAMs to any emails in years. I don't see
how to develop something acceptable with no feedback channel.
Hope that explains,
