When I said higher class, I meant the secret admin discussions and what not. When things are hidden from the general community, a clear distinction is made between the privileged rights-bearing users and the normal users who are utterly oblivious to the changes being made. Therefore, there are two classes: the class that controls any (but not necessarily all) aspects of the wiki, and the class that their decisions and/or discussions are hidden from. "Ruling" may not be a fair term to use, depending on your point of view, but there is most certainly a power imbalance.

About the committee, you're saying that... they're not a group of mediators because the admins go directly to the general community in addition to the committee? :P
