What will you do to clarify the situation? I think the constitution is quite clear on what the DPL is allowed to do and does not need amendment in this regard. To me it does not make sense to delegate just for the sake of it. That would feel bureaucratic to me and the project has already enough of that. I would not go and delegate a d-i team, for example, since it just works well anyway. When important teams seem to be disfunctional or have a hard time to find a structure that scales into the future I would however use my powers of delegation to restructure the team from the outside. I would only do that after I worked with the team to help it overcome it's issues itself, however. I followed both Martin Michelmayr's effords during his terms and spend a lot of time in our DPL-team with some teams and would like to continue this work as DPL to conclude it.
