[Foundation-l] Volunteer Council - A shot for a resolution

[effe iets anders]

THomas is indeed right on this, it is to be defined more precisely. That is
why this is only a preliminary VC :). You can find much about this topic on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikicouncil . Thanks for understanding
not to discuss all details here and now :) (and how much enforcement exactly
a council has, is, after all, a detail compared with he existence question
an sich)

Best regards,

Lodewijk
