We were already informed that the OTW board has approved meta and is going to implement it even though there is absolutely no way to manage it. Yet another case of the OTW claiming they serve fandom but actually they only serve their own interests without looking beyond their own noses to see that they the OTW board is not the entirety of fandom, no matter how much they might like to think they are.
Where are work types? Maybe you should make sure the Archive actually supports what you want it to host so that the ToS don't have to be rewritten in such a way that they become so nonsensical it's almost as though they're a farce...
Changes to the TOS and adding works type filtering are two of the steps to fully hosting meta, and to moving toward being a truly multimedia archive. Deciding whether meta belongs on the archive and fits into our mission was absolutely a board level-decision, as we're meant to determine those sorts of issues. It was not a decision made in a vaccuum, but one that took into account a range of feedback from well beyond the Board, and was made intentionally to widen the scope of fans we do represent. Implementation is, and will be, collaborative work between our committees, just like any other changes to the archive.
