hi Jay, Thank you for starting this thread, I think Ironic has already moved silently to a structure similar to DPL recently, so I'm ok with giving that a try. As discussed on IRC I'm happy to keep my role as Release liaison. I'm also up to help on other aspects as I did in the past, but I'll let others weigh in before proposing myself for more roles! Ciao!

At today's Ironic meeting, many cores were around to discuss a potential move to the DPL model. This allows the project to continue our practice of distributed leadership without having to have a song and dance every six months about who will bear the PTL title :).
https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/distributed-project-leadership... documents required and optional roles for DPL model. These are listed below for clarity:
(required)
- Release liason
- tact-sig liason (CI)
- Security liason
- TC liason
(optional)
- Events liason
- Project Update/Onboarding liason
- Meeting Facilitator
- Bug Deputy
- RFE Coordinator
I'd suggest that for Ironic purposes, we obviously need someone in each of the required roles; but I'd strongly suggest we also assign an events liason so we have a single point of responsibility for PTG signup and planning.
Along these lines, if we'd like Ironic to go to DPL, I will volunteer to be the Security liason.
One concern raised in the Ironic meeting is that the DPL is traditionally associated with low-activity projects; Ironic is an extremely active project with multiple senior developers working on it -- our move to DPL is simply meant to model our actual working mode with everyone pitching in as needed.
What do folks think? If you are in favor of a move to DPL, I'd suggest volunteering for a liason role.
Thanks, Jay Faulkner

Hello ironicers!
It's been a pleasure and an honor to serve as PTL for 2 cycles. I've decided to not be a candidate for the next cycle, mainly because of time constraints. Huge thanks to the community for having me, I hope in the future I'll be able to repeat the experience.
Ciao! Riccardo
