That said, I think this thread is somewhat misdirected. This is really a Foundation issue. I suppose the Foundation isn't well enough organized to deal with it, though.
I don't think the ease of obtaining adminship needs to a core policy which the Foundation would ever have any reason to impose upon the projects. We don't even have globally agreed on written down cross-wiki policies for many of the things which could be regarded as core principles (policies like free licensing, NPOV, etc have been developed on the English Wikipedia, and many others, but not all Wikimedia projects, and it's increasingly becoming clear that not all projects recognise these as being policies outside of the English Wikipedia). I see this as an issue the global communities need to work out, not something people should be waiting for the Board to impose.
