Absolutely. The WMF hosts the lists, so has a veto, but generally
policy should be entirely determined by the users. Mods interpreting
that policy can result in what is essentially new policy, though. (The
same happens in law - judges often create new law when judging a
specific case.)

For the most part, I agree. I can imagine situations where it is best
to keep things quiet, but they would be very rare.
