I agree 100%. whit you.

For matters that have an impact on all wikipedias there must be a formal 
request for discussion on Intlwiki-l whit enough time ( 7 days ?) so 
that those wikipedians reading that list can organize a discussion 
procedure on their on wikipedia and/or maillinglist.

After there local discussion procedure a representative of all 
wikipedias kan give feedback in the name of that wikipedia on Intlwiki-l.

The part of the local discussion procedure is very important. There are 
wikipedians  that have lives and do not read these maillinglists but 
only work on the wikipedia and doing the real work. If a wikipedia finds 
it is nessesary to include those people in the discession making proces 
it must be possibel, even if it takes time.

If it goes about a change that effect all wikipedias this procedure 
should be followed.
If it goes about a small change that can simple be done individually for 
every wikipedia a simple announcement on Intlwiki-l should be enough.
