May I ask why you do not want the community's input on an issue of such central importance?
The history of sharing leadership with you -i.e. the deputies - has been unexpectedly negative, and I fear that a Community Council would encounter similiar difficulties. I don't think one is needed. In my view, community input and support for your general way of administrating is all that is needed. At the moment, this site is run by a blocking policy which has very little (perhaps no) community support. This is a continuing stress which no-one needs, and which weakens the sense of community solidarity. I think you would find that working out an acceptable blocking policy would be extremely helpful - to both you and us.
As a successful example, you just recently asked for community input about medication references. To me, this is the kind of action on your part which strengthens the community, and enhances the experience of individual posters.
