Nobody I know of is saying that we should not have it Anthere. I, for example, want a general solution by having this on the Commons.
Wikispecies would then be a Wikimedia Commons data project; along with Wikiwar, Wikichemistry, and anything else that would benefit from Commons technology.
I still strongly feel the board way overstepped its authority by authorizing this when there was far from a consensus to proceed.
The concerns should have be addressed first in order *try* to find a mutually acceptable solution. I did not see a good effort to do that.
Leadership by fiat is no leadership at all.
