While Gentoo is actually blessed with highly respectable managers, I have |
| 2 |
absolutely no idea what the future will be if some of them change their |
| 3 |
life plans, e.g. get headhunted by MS ;-) |

So I would really appreciate a more democratic structure in Gentoos's |
| 6 |
management and I think Debian is a nice antetype. |

Not necessarily the users have to participate in such a voting system and |
| 9 |
you really don't have to vote about technical issues which should be |
| 10 |
decided by managers within their area of accountability. But at least the |
| 11 |
managers should elect their own circle, role by role and temporal limited. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Gentoo now has a good base to start such a restructuring. With respect to |
| 14 |
the notable efforts of individually managers in the past, I fully |
| 15 |
understand if they want to keep their good influence on Gentoo. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
But a democratic structure would give me a much better feeling concerning |
| 18 |
the long term availability and stability of Gentoo. This would wipe off my |
| 19 |
last doubt if Gentoo is my distribution for at least the next twenty years. |

I support John's proposal by one hundred percent. |
