While I'm perfectly happy with non-project members being members of delegated Debian teams, the Constitution is pretty clear that delegations must be to other Project Members. "The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a specific decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the Technical Committee." I read this to mean that delegated teams must have at least one Debian Project Member. (At least not without a change in the constitution which is a change I would not support.) In your specific example, I believe that we need to check in with the existing delegate and see if they are in fact inactive and if they are inactive, we'd need to create a new delegation. > Q: Do you see any flaws on the current Outreach setup? If so, how > would you address them? Other than your suggestion that the team Delegate may be inactive, I don't know enough about the current Outreach setup, to know where there might be areas in need of improvement. If I am elected to DPL, I'd be happy to have a discussion with you and the team, and will certainly reach out to the Delegate. I will say that I do generally support Debian's participation in this program, and have helped fundraise for it in the past. I also believe that there is a fairly strong project consensus to support internship programs like Outreach and GSoC.
