These are proposals that will go (or are now) before the Executive Committee.
Simplifying and improving CZ guidance pages
Summary: Briefly, we have a logjam. The guidance pages are important and often sensitive, but need simplifying and improving. This intimidates editors (fear of introducing an error). I propose that we have an Approved version of all CZ pages, and a Draft version that is clearly open to all suggestions and contributions. The Approval process should be as that for other articles, except that the relevantly qualified "editors" are the Executive Committee.

Adopt the proposals system
Summary: The Citizendium should adopt the proposals system as current set out on CZ:Proposals and its subpages. We Citizens can and should participate in our own governance. We Citizens often offer ideas for improvements (proposals) and make calls for a decision to be made between definite options (issues). Notice that we do distinguish between proposals and issues, but, below, we'll sometimes use "proposal" to mean "either a proposal or an issue." The proposals system is a single place where Citizens may make proposals and raise issues. If you submit a proposal here, and it gains a champion (a "driver"), you can be sure that the community will respond; your ideas or your question will not simply fall through the cracks. (Read further on CZ:Proposals.)

Internationalisation sandbox
Summary: There have been many requests for CZ pilots to begin in other languages, but so far nothing has gotten off the ground. Inasmuch as 1) we are losing competent authors whose first language is not English but 2) we do not have the time, personnel or expertise to begin complete CZs in other languages, I propose a sandbox type setup in which those who will can go ahead and begin articles in other languages, but these will be hidden from public view until a bona fide project can be set up in that language. Note that unlike the "sandbox" we have now, these drafts would not be discarded when the user signs off.

Non-comprehensive fair use policy
Summary: This is a proposal to allow six categories of media to be used under U.S. fair use on Citizendium. The six categories of materials encompass the most commonly used materials under fair use and are widely considered fair use without controversy. Allowing these now will free contributors in a needed way related to current articles. This is not a comprehensive fair use policy, which can be accomplished later.
