As promised, the draft report on our study of Controversial Content on Wikimedia projects is now available at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2010_Wikimedia_Study_of_Controversial_Content. We're actually planning to release the study on that page in three segments, with a day or two in between This first one discusses the general principles that animated our observations and recommendations. We are very interested in your comments, and will be monitoring them carefully. Your feedback will be built into the report we eventually make to the Board in early October. And thanks to all for the welcoming reception we've been given since our appearance in late June. These are difficult questions to deal with, as you all know -- your openness has made it easier for us to do so. Robert Harris and Dory Carr-Harris.

Please detail the steps to be taken to ensure this is not ratcheted up.

David,
Not quite sure what you mean by "ratcheted up"? Could you clarify?
Thanks,

I thought it was pretty clear. What, if anything, is in place to make sure the planned filtering will not be increased?

There are no concrete plans to filter anything. The only thing we have is the preamble to a draft set of recommendations. Those recommendations will eventually be handed over to the Board, but only after time for comment and revision based on those comments.
If you think something important is missing from the draft, I'd make a Talk comment to that effect so that it gets added.
