UV: We do not like to grant password protected forums, as they are a major nuisance, and are not required for a private newspaper. Certainly you can do your planning via chat, google docs, etc.
Kaboom: The Admin Team does not feel comfortable granting you powers over a part of the forum Cabinet has not had powers over in the past, while there is not a sitting WAD. It should be up to the WAD to determine whether Cabinet should have moderation powers over the WA subforums, and the Admin Team does not want to engage in what could be seen as a political move. Once the election is over and the new WAD is elected, I suggest you re-visit this issue.
