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.
