Per commons Policy's the RFC is valid.
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. :-)
