Sure they do - we've seen DPLs call things consensus when that's very unclear to me and invoke their power to "Make any decision for whom noone else has responsibility." They also have power to streamline the General Resolution process and hold the casting vote. I agree that DPL candidates often plan to do stuff that doesn't need the DPL powers, but there are a few powers which help tackle big issues, even if they can be tackled without them. Hope that makes sense - I'm in a rush. -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. http://koha-community.org supporter, web and library systems developer.
