Hi Stefan, Tom, David! Thanks for raising this question ... since David already answered, I'd like to comment some parts as well.
Personally, I think the current decision doesn't convey the "very positive mood" of the discussion within the SC. Once the recording is online, I suggest to listen to some of the statements ... I found it very encouraging.

I think the SC tried to achieve, that we do have a coordinated effort for the international site - and all the local teams can benefit. For example, I currently aim to raise some issues at the website mailing list, since I hope that some local teams will listen there as well - in the end, the English site addresses only a part of the whole community. Next, I consider myself to be someone who may provide help and support ... e.g. to help to evaluate proposals that are made with regard to UX. Our aim should be to actively invite people to provide feedback and shape content. But to implement this consistently, the team has been set up. I hope very much that the website team grows, so that we can share the responsibility with many more people :-) Historically, the local teams have much more experience providing dedicated sites ... Stefan, does this help?
