community input
So where's the community input on this? I don't really disagree with what's being said here, but we get the impression that if arbcom makes a statement here then it automatically becomes true. That's not how things work. Arbcom should not be the sole decision maker of what roles it takes/ has authority over. -- Ned Scott 07:05, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * right. I think almost all of it would be strongly approved by the community if submitted--as it should have been-- as a proposed statement. I do not know where anyone here or anywhere properly gets to define the scope of his own [powers or competence. DGG (talk) 22:38, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
