+<h2>Commitments made during the campaigning period</h2>
+<p>
+I will perform the following duties that would be expected of any DPL.
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Generating and publishing monthly reports. Bits from the DPL has become an essential source of news for Project Members, and I am excited to continue this tradition.</li>
+  <li>Review and authorize delegations
+  <li>I plan to immediately reach out to all delegated teams to schedule availability during the following year. So if teams need extra DPL attention at certain times, I'll have reserved it for those teams.</li>
+  <li>Make decisions regarding property held in trust for Debian (mostly reviewing and approving expenses and budgets in a timely fashion)</li>
+  <li>Supporting the TC in appointing new members
+  <li>Add or remove organizations from the list of trusted organizations. At this time I have no pressing actions on this front, other than work to create the new Foundations.</li>
+  <li>Solicit advice both privately and, publicly</li>
+  <li>Be available to all Developers who need help</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+In addition, I commit to the following course of action regarding the Foundations:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Recruit a team of at least three additional DDs to work on the Foundation(s) project with me (open to all comers)</li>
+  <li>Work with the team, to do the heavy lifting and research required to have a deep discussion with the Project about our next steps</li>
+  <li>I will seek consensus on debian-project regarding the Foundation(s) details, with a goal of building a consensus around creating US and EU Foundations, enabling us to directly engage paid Financial, Legal and administrative services, and staff.</li>
+  <li>I will seek a GR and build consensus for any Constitutional changes legally required to implement the Foundations</li>
+  <li>I will consult with DDs regarding hiring any staff (and other large expenditures)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+In addition, I have the following non-Foundation related goals and plans.:
+</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>I will (re)create dpl-helpers and invite Project Members, and other DPL candidates (past and present) to join. I plan to reinstitute the regular DPL-team meetings on a bi-weekly basis. These meetings will be on IRC and open for all.</li>
+  <li>I will work with DAM and Webmasters to separate uploading rights from the path to becoming a DD. Uploading DD is currently handled as the default path, which discourages potential applicants from pursuing Debian Developer status before they are ready to go through the T&S checks</li>
+  <li>I will make sure all delegations are compliant w/ the Constitution (we have at least a couple that are non-compliant)</li>
+  <li>While recognizing that many people aren't ready for change, I will encourage experimentation in communication technology e.g. - Discourse, and telepresence tools</li>
+  <li>I will attend every DebConf during my term (barring travel restrictions).  DebConf is important and it's important that the DPL attends</li>
+  <li>I will run again if things are going well and people are happy with my performance. I say this because any former DPL will confirm that it takes time to learn to be a DPL. Allowing the project to leverage that experience via a second term only makes sense.</li>
+</ul>

 <h2>About me</h2>
 I&#39;ve been involved in free and open source communities for almost 15 years, a Debian Project Member for almost 7 years, and have been leading NYLUG (New York Linux Users Group) for over 10 years. I first became involved in Debian in 2008, as one of the first bid team members of what was to become DebConf10. I&#39;ve been involved in the Treasurer, Trademark and DPL-helpers teams as well. I have done fundraising for Debian and Debconf over the years and helped Debian get a Paypal account through SPI. I expect to have at least 10-15 hours a week to work on DPL-related tasks. I estimate it will take 6-12 months to create the US entity.
