I think that's just out of date, like so much in the wiki. New users 
signing up are sent to a different wiki page when they decline:

I believe the main reason is because of the ongoing attempt to improve 
the contributor terms to deal with various issues which people raised 
with them. Unfortunately reworking them takes time because of the need 
to keep passing each draft over to the lawyers for review.

I don't know - maybe the board has established a Community Monitoring 
Group yet? Maybe you should suggest it to them?

You seem to have me confused with somebody in authority ;-)
