While admittedly not all TB decisions were cast with quite the same haste several were which prompted TB to agree to slow the process down by further TB Guidelines amendments to create a timelag to force members to count to 48 hours before rushing to cast their ballots.

I respect and applaud the CD's decision to disband TB as it had become a body that had outlived its usefulness.
It's tough to be nimble when such a high bar of consensus is required.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
