== Simplifying and improving CZ guidance pages ==
{{proposal
|Brief descriptive title = Approval system for CZ: pages
|Summary of proposal = 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. |Name and date of original proposer = [[User:Gareth Leng|Gareth Leng]] 07:08, 14 February 2008 (CST)

== Internationalisation sandbox ==
{{proposal
|Brief descriptive title = Internationalisation sandbox
|Summary of proposal =  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.

|Next step = Request tekkie involvement, continue to generate discussion, begin deciding on details.
|Target date for next step = March 27, 2008
|Notes =  All internationalisation discussions have been directed to the project page.

== Non-comprehensive fair use policy ==
{{proposal
|Brief descriptive title = Non-comprehensive fair use policy
|Summary of proposal =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.

== A new subpage for translations of approved articles ==
{{proposal
|Brief descriptive title = Allow translations of approved articles
|Summary of proposal = Adopt and encourage translations of approved English CZ articles to other languages. This could be done with a new article subpage called "Other languages". The pagename would be Biology/Translations/German for instance.
|Name and date of original proposer = [[User:Jens Mildner|Jens Mildner]] 03:01, 23 February 2008 (CST)
|Username of driver = [[User:Jens Mildner|Jens Mildner]]
|Next step = Status check after submission to Executive Committee.
|Target date for next step = Mar 31
|Notes = I see this as the perfect preparation for the international CZ.
