4.  Lead Elections

If anyone wants to be lead, we can hold elections for a new lead. Discuss this further in either #gentoo-desktop or on the gentoo-desktop mailing list.

Any developers who consider themselves part of the desktop project are welcome to participate in the election, but they can't just be part of the project for the election. They need to create a subproject with accompanying Web page for their herd and link to it from the top-level desktop index. Any developers not listed as members on some project page in the desktop hierarchy cannot vote.
