To confirm what Joey said in the most recent weekly news, it looks like we're going to wait for Norman Petry's committee to come up with a set of recommendations for debian's constitution. Until the voting system has been fixed, we should try to avoid voting on controversial issues.
More on what seems reasonable to expect: It's plausible that Norman's group will come up with a set of recommendations in a month. However, they're not obligated to do so, and it might take longer. At that point, we'll have a two week minimum discussion period, and if there's any controversy that's when we'd come up with any amendments. If there's no controversy, we could then call for a [final] vote, and in another two weeks we'd (probably) have a fixed constitution. Because that kind of time lag (two months estimated, and probably no more than twice that long) seems reasonable, I'm willing to let my most recent proposal die through lack of interest. [I'm not withdrawing it yet -- while it does not address all the various issue that Norman's group is addressing, it's still a valid proposal. I'll withdraw it when something better is actually available.] Thanks, -- Raul
