Thanks for the feedback, I have updated the proposal accordingly.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

 - Following the announcement of the 22nd of October on the debian-devel-announce
   mailing list (Message-id: <878wsgmi1j.fsf@vorlon.ganneff.de>) about "Developer
   Status";

 - Given the importance of defining how the Project accepts new members;

 - Because of the strong opposition to the method used to prepare, discuss and
   decide the announced changes, and without judging on their validity;

The Debian Project, by the way of a general resolution of its developpers, decides:

  The changes announced the 22nd of October on the debian-devel-announce
  mailing list (Message-id: <878wsgmi1j.fsf@vorlon.ganneff.de>) are suspended.
  In accordance to the paragraph 4.2.2 of the constition, this suspension
  takes immediately effect until a procedural vote decides if the supsension
  is lifted until the vote of this general resolution.

In addition, the developpers make the following statememt:

  The delegates of the Project leader are asked to not take decisions that are
  not consensual about the membership procedures of the Project, and to let
  these procedures change by the way of a general resolution if no consensus
  can be reached.

I have turned the second resolution into a statement that is not binding
for the delegates, which solves the constitutional issues.

Have a nice week-end,
