Thanks for sharing indeed!
I find the community council idea very interesting (some might recall that proposals have surfaced over time that could be covered by such a name).
Given the topic, I'm going to assume here that this topic will be brought up for community discussion before anything like a decision will be taken :) I think an organized way to facilitate community discussion beyond the mailing list we're writing on now, and simple fora like meta pages, would be very welcome and could result in more constructive input of high quality.
Best, Lodewijk

Hi all,
Stephen, thanks for posting this. :-)
From my perspective, there's two items of particular interest here that I haven't seen discussed on this list or elsewhere - namely "Disrupting the disrupters" and "Community council". The board minutes aren't really sufficient to understand the details of what the WMF board members are thinking about with these topics, so I'd like to ask the WMF board members if they would be willing to share their understanding of what these topics entail either here or on-wiki please?
(BTW, in general I'm much more in favour of seeing detailed minutes that explain what was discussed, why it was discussed, and what individual people thought, rather than high-level summary minutes that say what was discussed without explaining the details. The [[Five Ws]] and the additional 'how' are an excellent guide here!)
Thanks, Mike
