I think a lot of community members think that this should be
implemented. As soon as possible.

Yes, but they could represent a community, too.
Or should we elect a wikiparliament made of members elected *locally*?

By electing some of the Board members, who are really few. Really: how
much member there are? Seven? I don't think they're representive at
all, especially cause there are no regular elections (zum beispiel,
once a year).
Participating in community decision? And how, if decision are made and
noone can complain about it? Persons are not even informed.
