Every vote has had a two week (the non-free isn't being voted on.. it's in the dicussion period now) discussion period before a vote was called. According to the constitution, proposals by the DPL don't require sponsors(seconds). Manoj, I respect your opinions and if you don't like the constitution or the way the constitution works, then that's one issue but to (essentially since it falls in my responsiblity) accuse me of not following the constitution is not fair. - Darren -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
