Pretty much everything I want to say about this resolution can be found, in summary, in my original statement to the Council list. The importance of this resolution to the future of the Citizendium is difficult to understate. It provides a coherent and user-friendly framework for expanded scope of work, and helps us to distinguish ourselves usefully and meaningfully from Wikipedia. One advantage I probably have underemphasized, if I have said it anywhere at all, is that this really represents an advance in the use of the wiki model generally. Subpages have been around since 2001 (if not earlier), but to my knowledge, no one has used them in precisely the way we are about to do. We (Internauts) have barely begun to develop the best future tools and content development models--this development demonstrates that once again.
