There are certainly several major concerns about starting up the 
metarbcom, not the least of which defining itself.  Perhaps the 
Wikicouncil should be established first, granted its authority in a slow 
and safe manner.  Somewhere along the way it could be given the task of 
developping the metarbcom.
