Hoi,

I am quite happy when someone argue their case. I will certainly listen. In the past there were Americans who said to support languages from Papua New Guinea. Their arguments is why we ask for native speakers. The good thing of this policy is that we can do differently when the situation fits a need.

Thanks,

GerardM

As discussed before, it would take a few decades before a language under revitalizing effort to gain a native speaker.
The context of "having native speakers" is not existential, but having them working on particular project.
