I do. In my experience, companies and nonprofits have governance structures that involve the authority to make decisions, making them entirely unlike Wikipedia.
Lord, true that.
One, I hope the ArbCom has already started discussing what's going to happen next, because you know that someone will eventually take the Council forum to MfD, citing the "consensus at the RfC". What will follow will be another pile-on from the 60 or so editors from the RfC. ArbCom will then have to face a decision as to whether to defy that group and refuse to let the forum be deleted, or bow to it. The ArbCom can choose to defy that group if they want to, because no one can do anything to you because you exist by Jimbo's authority, which he has so far not reliquished.
I'm interested in seeing what will happen if the Committee chooses that course of action, which of course, I hope they do. It's time to take a stand, in my opinion, for the long-term.
