Dear Milos Rancic and the Committee members,
Thank you for the letter. I have forwarded your letter to the Board with a bit more context. Christophe or I shall be in touch about it.
Yours sincerely,

>
> During more than a decade of its existence, Language committee's main task
> was to block creation of the projects. Having in mind that goal and the
> fact that the capacities of the Wikimedia movement at that time were not
> linguistically strong, the main rule related to the decision-making process
> inside of the Language committee was consensus.
>
> Language policy is different today than it was at the time of creation. We
> have established a common sense practice based on the situation then. As a
> result, we ask the Board to reconsider the rule of consensus inside of the
> Language committee and allow it to make decisions by majority,
> supermajority or other methods defined by the committee itself.
