O.k. since it has come back up :). I pretty much have to agree with Josh
here. This is not the SPIs problem or business. If the DPL & Secretary
are bound by the Debian constitution, so are the DDs.

Let Debian deal with it, and report (via the Liaison) to SPI the motion
etc... If the Secretary drags his/her feet, then the DDs can form a
quorum to recall her yes?
