To be honest, I think it would work much better if the councils were working efficiently now. Right now (although Tatsu is doing a great job), the COTP is still having difficulties passing many of their own votes. So far, unless staff members are extremely motivated, the committees could ultimately fail.

I’m also not a huge fan of having many non-staff members, because I think at the current state of the wiki and this generation of wiki users, it may not play out so well. The new users don’t seem keen to participate in anything other than commenting and roleplaying, plus some of them seem a bit too immature imo. However, I agree that it could be an opportunity for non-council staff (and especially interns) to participate in some work to prove themselves.

This doesn’t mean that I am strongly against having non-staff members, possibly for some easier tasks like keeping up with updates etc. Like what Tatsu said, the Senior Chairman may in turn just pick their friends and turn it into a shitty group project (which usually is quite tedious).

We could fix this by having the COTP (or COA; depending on which and the importance of the committee) vote on the comittee members. This just provide the other staff’s opinions on the member.

To sum it up, I just believe the wiki should be at a more stable state with more notable users (that hang around often and are productive to the wiki). I also believe there should be more staff positions filled up, but like I said before, it would require some dedicated and productive users to keep it running.

If you don’t understand what I mean you can ask. I’m sorry, this is so messy /^\
