== Crat statement draft == 

 Hi 
 Following the drama at BN, I'm trying to come up with a statement all Crats could agree to. Please take a look, below. 
 I am quite content to do this onwiki -we have always worked transparently, except where secrecy is essential (ie RTV). I think we should be able to wordsmith a statement acceptable to all, and I think it's an important thing to do. 
 # In my opinion, this issue has come about through an unfortunate proliferation of documentation: policy, guideline, how-to etc 
 # I am not convinced that there is community consensus on all of the points encapsulated in those various pages 
 # I am unhappy at what may be described as some or all of: inconsistencies, inaccuracies or lack of clarity in that documentation 
 # I do not believe that any of the issues we have faced have been caused by Crats trying to widen their powers 
 # I would like to see the issues clarified, based on consensus, and for the documentation to be updated accordingly 
 # I'd like to thank Griot-de for generously withdrawing the rename request

 Lmk what you think. Many thanks,
