The problem I have with this is that FESCo, unlike all bodies save the Board, makes decisions that affect the entire project. I think "affects" should be the criteria, not "authority." Probably what is bugging me the most about this is that I want to be able to vote for FESCo members. Not only that, but in the last FDSCo elections, I wanted the pool of eligible voters to be all of FAS. I cannot think of a single good reason to divide Fedora contributors into voting pools, but I can think of lots of good reasons we should be able to vote across sub-project steering committees. All of the talk about political v. technical are spurious. This is not a government, we are not a physical nation. Decisions that affect all of us are a split of technical, social, community, etc. Why cling to preconceived notions of how a "democracy" works? Look at ancient Athens, the "first democracry" -- as long as you were a free man and the eldest son of a property owning family.[1] We actually are free to reinvent the notion ourselves. - Karsten [1] At least they, unlike the US Congress, actually had to go fight the wars they voted to have. -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
