Subject: DPL Elections 2002 Debate: Call for Questions
Date:	 Sat, 9 Mar 2002 00:06:06 -0800

This is a "Call for Questions" for the upcoming Debian Project Leader
Election debate, as announced by the project secretary last week [1].

As currently envisioned, the debate will be moderated by the panelists [2],
and will be broken down into four parts [3]:

Part 1 is for general questions to all the candidates. Candidates will each
have one minute to answer a series of questions (say around 5) collected
from the community.

Part 2 is for 2-3 questions directed towards a particular candidate. Again
these questions are collected from the community, and each candidate will 
have a minute to answer.

Part 3 are for questions that arise during the above two parts. There will
be a separate method (TBD) for collecting these during the debate.

Part 4 are for any closing remarks and rebuttals from the candidates. They 
will each be given about 3 minutes to speak freely.

The time for the debate will be arranged separately between the panelists
and the candidates and will be announced hopefully in the coming week.

Please submit your questions for parts 1 and 2 to the panelists. Ben 
Collins has setup a mail alias for the panelists at 
<bcollins-debate@debian.org>. As explained above, your question(s) can be 
either directed at a single candidate, or at all the candidates, but please 
specify which. Also, you may wish to consult the debian-vote mailing list
archives [4] to see if your question has already been asked and answered.
The candidates' platforms are at [5]

Thank you in advance for your participation!
