As part of this year's elections, I'd like to pose five questions to the nominees, that I believe are important factors in considering someone a good candidate for the council: 1. Do you feel you have enough time to commit to serving as a Gentoo council member in the 2021/2022 term? Does your commit activity support this? If you served in 2020/2021, have you prepared for council meetings and finished all unfinished business for which you were responsible (as a council member)? 2. Project X and Project Y have irreconcilable differences, but you aren't involved with any of the projects. A crucial technical decision needs to be made. How will you react? Will you defer? Do you consider abstaining a viable option for the group of people making decisions as a last resort? 3. Given your typical area of responsibility, how have you performed? 4. What positive change/idea/plan do you have for Gentoo that you would try to further (not necessarily as a council member)? By positive change I mean actually changing something concrete, not some diffuse notion of "improving how the council acts" or non-tangible deliverable. 5. Do you think the council should be more agile - i.e. take decisions for the purpose of propelling Gentoo forward, rather than waiting for the decision to be made for it? Would you consider a small number of departing views on the mailing list or IRC to be enough to derail a proposal? When do you consider a controversial issue to have been discussed enough?
