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,

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
