Subject: Constitution - formal proposal (v0.6)
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 1998 15:02:06 +0100

Please see

 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/debian-organisation-formal.html

for the latest draft constitution.

(I hereby propose and accept an amendment to my motion,
for the changes from 0.5, at ...-0.5.html, to this version.)

Changes:

* 3:1 supermajority required for constitutional change.

* 2:1 supermajority of developers can overrule Tech. Ctte.  (K
developers are sufficient to put decision on hold.)

* Secretary decides whether changing votes is possible; Technical
Committee members' votes can always be changed.  `No longer in doubt'
doesn't take into account the possibility of changed votes.

* Technical Committee and Project Leader can together remove or
replace Technical Committee members.

* SPI section is more circumspect, in order to avoid possible tax
liability.

* Intro paragraph clarified and description of project is now just
rationale.

* Interaction of supermajorities and quora clarified.

* Typo and stylistic fixes.

Ian.
