</div>Since vfmBOFH mentions the failed mandriva assembly, I'd like to suggest<br>
to please keep the organisational structure as flat as possible.<br>
<br>
On the internet where everyone has equal possibilities to be informed<br>
and partecipate we don't need multi-level hierarchical structures with<br>
so called local community representatives that have special rights or<br>
influence.<br>
<br>
As we just saw during the first days of Mageia, the opinion of some<br>
local community representatives don't necessarily match at all with the<br>
opinions of the members of their community.<br>
<br>
So personally I don't see any point in local community representatives<br>
as decision makers. If anything they should make sure that their<br>
communities are informaed by arranging translations of relevant<br>
information and manage their local forums, events etc.<br>
<br>
Any voting on global Mageia issues should be open to everyone, there<br>
should be no delegations or representations as that's not necessary on<br>
the internet.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I did not say that representatives are decison makers. As its position indicates, they "represent" their respective communities. Their vote (or decision) *must* be their communities one.<br>
<br>On the other hand, if every aspect of the distro should be voted on by each and every one of its users, the process of implementing a change would be too slow for what we are accustomed. I do not see the community voting en masse (and agreeing!) On every aspect of the distro.<br>
<br>The "central hub" should be seen as a "parliament", where users (who have previously elected their representatives) are represented.<br><br>
