Until such time as there is created a body with greater legitimacy to declare such, he is pretty much the most qualified actor to look to in cases where global bans are necessary. So I would have to say from an effective point of view, global bans are expressed by Jimbo, more often than not. The question of authority does not arise; as it is recognized that Jimbo does so with the consent of the larger community.
