Here is a proposal regarding the governance of individual Wikimedia projects; http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Project_Governing_Committees
The idea is to give the members of each Wikipedia and all the other projects, the freedom to develop each project independently of any hierarchical control by the Board of Trustees.
Err... the members of each Wikipedia and all the projects already have the freedom to develop each project independently of any hierachical control by the Board of Trustees. Wikimedia exists primarily to provide material support (ie, servers and hosting) and maintain 'brand awareness' (the trademark, domain names), doesn't it?
Could these points be stated explicitly in the bylaws, please? I got another impression by reading the bylaws.
