The CC will only delegate membership granting to the Arts Council (or
any other team) if it has confidence in their understanding of the
criteria and judgement, and if they commit to reporting up to the CC the
results and rationale for their membership approvals.

The Art Council is mainly a policy body. Actual buck-stops-here art
decisions are shared by the artist-in-chief for the release (ubuntu,
kubuntu, xubuntu, edubuntu) and in some cases those AIC's are
accountable to Canonical (me, or some future art director).
