CSD T1 was decreed from above.
By who? I don't see how this is within the competence of anyone other
than the community.
Jimbo Wales. I can't find the original addition in history, but it's
reaffirmed with

When did the board give Jimbo the power to pass CSD criteria?
See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policy#How_are_policies_enforced.3F.
The CSD is classed as policy.
"Much of Wikipedia policy dates from before 2002. Policy change now
comes from three sources:
* A proposed policy being adopted by consensus. (See Wikipedia:How
to create policy)
* A slow evolution of convention and common practice eventually
codified as a policy.
* Jimbo, the Board, or the Developers, particularly for copyright,
legal issues, or server load."
