Dear fellow developers,

As per Debian Constitution =C2=A78, I hereby appoint the following develope=
rs
as members of the DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team ("DFSG Team"):

 * Thorsten Alteholz (alteholz)
 * Ansgar Burchardt  (ansgar)
 * Joerg Jaspert     (joerg)
 * Luke W. Faraone   (lfaraone)

This new team is spun off from the former FTP Master team. With its
creation, the previous FTP Master delegation is revoked. The delegation
is not time-limited and will remain in effect until further changes by
the present or a future Project Leader.


Task Description
----------------

The DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team ensures that new packages entering =
the
Debian archive comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines[1] and relev=
ant
licensing requirements.  Its responsibilities include:

 * Accepting or rejecting packages in the NEW queue, covering:
    - DFSG acceptability and licensing for both old and new packages
    - Package quality standards for new packages

 * Communicating transparently about the status of packages in NEW.

 * Ensuring packages respect the DFSG and applicable licensing and legal
   requirements, and removing those that conflict.

 * Applying rules and standards for package acceptance in line with the
   Debian community=E2=80=99s consensus, and avoiding the introduction of
   additional requirements without such feedback.

 * Documenting the team's policies for accepting packages.


Further information
-------------------

More information about the DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team can be found=
 on
the Debian Wiki[2].

I would like to explicitly thank the former FTP Master team for their
longstanding work.
