Yaroslav,

There can be no "top-down solutions" when there is no top.

I congratulate Milos' for the time and thought that went into his assessment
of the current situation, and very much agree with much of it. And, as
Nathan said earlier, "There truly is no "Wikimedia Community" leadership to
take that step." If there are persons in the Community who are willing to
take a serious look at this situation, I am willing to be a part of that
effort.
