So you're suggesting that ArbCom have a role in policy making similar
to the role Bureaucrats have in RfAs? They come along after all the
discussion and determine if a consensus exists? I like that idea, it's
very easy to implement and would solve quite a lot of the confusion
that almost always surrounds changes in policy.

Now, the question is, how do we decide about changing the policy about
changing policy? This might be a good example of a time when it's best
for a GodKing to step in...
