If you add motivations, then you need someone reading the motivation and decide whether they are "motivating enough" the veto. I guess, the original purpose of Lars was avoid this deciding entity. I'm still not sure about whether I do want it or not, but it is quite clear to me that you need to decide upon the two. > > * Membership ends 24 months after they're given, or after the latest > > participation in a vote arranged by the project's Secretary.

An observation though: only using them we can lower the bound to something like 12 months; by only counting votes 24 months is reasonable, because it is the time frame in which we can expect at least two DPL elections. 6 months seem to few to me though, we can imagine DDs maintaining only a few packages which require relatively low maintenance.
