Thanks for taking the time to go through this and other people's questions, Sam.

I can't speak for everyone that has raised questions about this, but my question hasn't been about the "can it be done", but about the "can it be made clear and permanent" - as an incentive for the future. If DPL Team/Committee worked, and delegations start to feel more permanent (delegated functions make sense, terms are long) then why wouldn't a few of those delegates become Debian Leadership Team members alongside DPL, tech-ctte chair and Secretary? Why wouldn't the "Debian Spokesperson" role, a formal one that could get invited by any event organizer like a DPL would, be a Constitution-regulated one? Why wouldn't the Constitution say the DPL Team/Committee makes decision by consensus, or via Standard Resolution Procedure.
