DPL candidates: what is effective?

[MJ Ray <mjr@phonecoop.coop>]

I've read a few questions and answers which use the word "effective".
I suspect there are different interpretations of effective. In
particular, whether a delegation is still effective - because on the
face of it, that could be a no-op in all cases.  So:

- what do you mean by "effective"?

- when would you say a delegation is no longer effective?

Thanks,
