*'''Comment'''—the bottleneck on promotion has nothing to do with the delegates or the directors. The delegates can only promote when all of the various criteria have been checked, and the reviewers commenting on the nomination have reach consensus that the article should get promoted. If you want higher throughput at FAC, you need more reviewers engaged that understand the criteria. At the same time, you also need more nominators that bring prepared articles, or reviewers willing to oppose the poorly prepared ones early enough to clear them out of the queue. When a delegate spends hours reading the nomination page and can't find anything ready to be promoted, it's not the delegate's fault that there isn't enough feedback on enough pre-prepared articles. <span style="background:#006B54; padding:2px;" >'''[[User:Imzadi1979|<font color="white">Imzadi&nbsp;1979</font>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Imzadi1979|<font color="white"><big>→</big></font>]]'''</span> 11:54, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

*:The question then becomes one of whether anyone has responsibility to identify such changes and take action to turn things around, or to delegate such actions to others. If that is not the responsibility of the delegates or the FA Director, then whose is it? The easy answer is "everyone", but I don't think it is unreasonable to say that someone should have responsibility for managing other parts of the process and ensuring a pool of experienced reviewers, and putting the structure in place for mentoring and training new reviewers (and providing feedback to nominators as well). This doesn't have to be tied to the responsibility of promoting nominations, but someone should be doing it.
