This is a proposal for a specific form in which the suggested governance reform might be developed.
It is proposed that a somewhat large number of editors, perhaps in the range of thirty to fifty, be selected through some process, possibly election, to fill positions in a policy committee. This committee would exist to carry out certain specific functions.
None of these functions would be exclusive to the members of the committee, however. The wikipedia community would be encouraged to take part in the discussion at all points by the use of a number of pages relating to any extant proposal, using basically the same arrangement currently used by the Arbitration Committee.
If and when a new policy or guideline is created, that policy or guideline would be subject to review and changes, using substantially the same procedure used in the creation of the new policy or guideline. The process to be used here could be substantially the same as that used by the Arbitration Committee regarding clarifications of prior rulings, enforcement requests and clarifications.
