Respect and agree are two different things. As with any board position, |
| 19 |
once elected the duty of the individual is to what is perceived as the |
| 20 |
best of the organization, despite any short term noise. One issue is of |
| 21 |
course that some of the people complaining the most are actually in a |
| 22 |
minority. With terms as short as 1 year and 7 voting members there |
| 23 |
shouldn't really be much conflict here in any case. |

I actually think that individual council members to a great extent are |
| 44 |
doing this already, by being involved in the various projects. |
| 45 |
Ironically this has resulted in complaints by some about "conflicts of |
| 46 |
interest", that is demonstrating a certain lack of understanding of |
| 47 |
concepts. |

They already have that every year during elections, so I'm not sure if |
| 56 |
adding additional layers of complexity is really worthwhile. But lets |
| 57 |
see the proposal similar to the debian general resolution and discuss it |
| 58 |
on its merits. |
