All,
Given that we say in point (1) that the authority of the DPL & Secretary
derive from the Debian constitution, I really don't see why (5) is necessary
at all. The only "dispute of authority" I'm willing to accept will be one
grounded in the constitution, and if there is such a dispute we can take it
as assumed that some DD or Board member will bring it up.
No matter how we re-write (5), it's superfluous and an invitation to DD's to
argue with the DPL on the SPI-lists. Again, I would like it to be simply
removed.
