Not IRC, the private mailing list with Chapters + staff, I'm sure you heard of it before.
And Kim, as far as I know there are NO WAY to put a sumary in a Central Notice action. And I'm not a en.wiki user, so I'm not forced to give any reason to en.wiki community about a action I took in another wiki. As for meta, there was a page ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Central_notice_requests) created AFTER I disable the banner.
And again, that was not a "on-wiki consensus": That was an action who started with a staff of WMF, discussed privately, put on air, discussed in a private mailing list, and took off. When I need to do anything on en.wiki I follow en.wiki, until there, don't try to imposse them to me. _____
Unless I'm missing something critical here, I believe it was the Research Committee, not the WMF staff, who approved the use of a central notice banner. Whether or not that is within their scope is a separate issue that should be discussed elsewhere.
I am pleased to see the creation of a page at Meta to discuss Central Notice requests.

FWIW, the banner was switched on by Philippe (using his WMF account).
