MJ,

Frankly, I wouldn't vote to approve the OFTC wording the way it stands if 
they were applying to join today.  It's too vague.  However, since OFTC 
actually needs very little, if anything, from SPI on a month-to-month 
basis, I'm not proposing to change it on the principle of 
it-aint-broke-don't-fix-it.

A request to "respect all Debian constitutional decisions" is pretty 
useless without a charter specifying how those decisions are going to be 
delivered to the board and how the board is supposed to know that they are 
legitimate.  This is what I believe that Ian was trying to address.

Actually, on the it-aint-broke-don't-fix-it front, what decision or 
question has AJ, or his predecessor, *not* relayed reliably to the Board?  
There's an implication on this thread that AJ is not trustworthy, and I 
have yet to see evidence of it.
