While this might be a valid request, I'm a bit concern about the % of the participants in the RFC. I don't think it's a good idea for this % of participant to make a binding decision for an entirely disjoint community many hundred if not thousand times it size with neither participation nor even consultation. This seem like a Kangaroo RFC to me. Consult the larger community, reach a consensus then return here for implementation.

Then the policy is broken. It seems more than a little insane to me that an opinion poll having had participation of a few % of a small community (active commons users) can make a binding decision for an entirely disjoint community many hundred times it size with neither participation nor even consultation. At the very least, the opinion of logged out users should be sought or at least vaguely estimated in some manner (I can think of several easy client-side ways of doing a quick opinion poll of at least a sample of them; or a couple of metrics giving hints). That RfC is akin to asking the print newspaper owners about making new rules for all web sites. While I've no doubt that their collective opinions would be very good for them, I'd like something a bit more objective. :-) -- Coren / Marc _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
