What I had in mind was that if two or more guilds requested RPC intervention in something, the issue would first go to the RPC Council/Representatives. They would talk privately amongst one another to determine whether or not the issue should go public to the coalition or remain strictly between the guilds. So let's say we have 20 RPC representatives. At least 11 (over half) of those reps would have to agree that the issue needs the RPC intervention. If the RPC reps agree to that extent, then the issue would be posted publicly for the entire coaliton to discuss and eventually vote on. This creates a sort of filtering process that allows the RPC Council to keep certain issues away from the coalition if they feel it's silly and doesn't affect all of us.
In this way, the only "power" the RPC Council would have is to determine whether a political related issue is worthy of RPC discussion or not. They couldn't actually intervene themselves, but rather allow it to go on to the next step of public debate and then a vote. Of course, reps could still take part in the debates themselves but they alone wouldn't decide anything other than whether something goes to the entire RPC or not.
This filtering process would likely prevent the vast majority of guild conflicts from involving the entire RP community. That's kind of what I meant by "absolutely necessary." Perhaps I should add more details to that?
