   The things I cannot do without being DPL or being empowered by the
DPL are: appointing new people, requesting reports from delegates, using
Debian money to sponsor meetings (which is not an idea of mine but that
I fully support).

   This may not seem much in comparison with all I have in my platform,
but it is the first step. Appointing people to do the jobs will make
things move tremendously fast. I know consitution 8.2 prevents the DPL
from saying "I'll delegate you if you choose to do XXX". But there's
nothing preventing the DPL from saying "so you want to do XXX? all
right, I'm delegating you." and though this is oversimplified, it is
basically what I'm wanting to do.

   If I am not elected, I shall work more intensively on the "sexier
BTS", "take back from other distributions" and "debugging Debian" parts
of my platform, as well as other QA projects, maybe even helping the
release team later.
