Nemo, I'm not sure what you mean by a single person's POV. Are you referring to Stephen?
While it is true that WMF Legal did the final writing of some guidelines - a few points: 1. They are guidelines - and AffCom has flexibility if it so desires and finds necessary. 2. They were written based on feedback from non-AffCom folks on talk pages, Milan, and elsewhere - as well as based on input from AffCom. 3. Naming guidelines exist for chapters and other entities - this is nothing new. 4. A final summarizing guideline or document being written by one person with unique skills, such as legal, is also nothing new, unusual, or implies that only their views are represented - that's just not true. - greg aka varnent On 12 May, 2013, at 2:04 AM, Federico Leva (Nemo) <nemow...@gmail.com> wrote: > Bence Damokos, 11/05/2013 15:13: >> Yes, to be fair, since the closing of the report, we had made some >> progress on this issue (e.g. we've had some user group name templates >> pre-approved[1] during a meeting in Milan with Stephen from the legal team >> and had clarified the process and responsibilities for names that don't >> match those templates for example in the case of thorgs).
