OTOH, maybe a 6-month term for DevRel makes more sense. Ok, but then I'd prefer to make Council a monitoring entity of these two. That is, if QA or DevRel team(-lead) is slacking (however you would define that), Council has the right to appoint a new lead (any time). That way you give the regular 1 year term to someone who does his/her job, but allow to intervene directly as needed (and not after 6 months). > >> This is just a brainstorming so please let me know what you think. > > > > I think this could be a good idea.

This is better > if it is handled directly by their representatives ( Council ) Right, agree here. I also believe the low turnout can be interpreted as little to no interest to deal with stuff like this, so probably best when Council does all the "work". -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
