Could you give some examples of DPL tasks of the last 24 months that you could have transferred to someone else? Looking through your log, I have the impression that most of the tasks are either very short tasks, or tasks that would require the DPL's own attention very frequently (unless you will authorize people to talk as if they were the DPL). What are the main skills required for a DPL? How will your practicing practice them? Why do you think that previous attempts of DPL practicing failed?
