If the vote is bound to the other project: does this mean the other project has to decide about a "delegate"? Could the organisation revoke that delegation or replace him? Would we therefore only work with projects which are setup properly? (This would mean that a project organized like PHP won't get a vote) Right now accounts (and therefore voting rights) are handed out based on individual contributions. And I think that's a good model to follow for the votes. The way I understood the rule was to be able to give regular participants in discussions, (assuming they actually make useful contributions ;-) ) voting karma even though they don't contribute code. And I wonder why that should have more precise rules than the ones we use to hand out accounts. Basically every candidate I imagine could get a "proper" account easily, if they want. johannes
