Mmmm... I have a very vague memory of something like this, but it must be documented properly and not as "some mail" :)
These two pages do mention the board: * more official: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_proposal_policy * less official: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee/Handbook_(committee)
If it's not required, they must be updated.

According to some mail from the board some years ago, we can nowadays proceed with approving new languages without contacting them at all, no? ;) Am 14.09.2016 12:29 schrieb "Amir E. Aharoni" < amir.aharoni@mail.huji.ac.il>:
Hi Christophe,
According to the Language Committee Handbook,[1] I am notifying you that the committee supports the creation of the Livvi-Karelian Wikipedia at the domain olo.wikipedia.org.
Livvi-Karelian[3] is one of the Karelian languages, spoken in Northern Russia. The Wikipedia in it has been active in the Incubator for over a year, and the texts in it were verified by an external expert (see the forwarded email below).
If there are no objections from the Board, then after four days I will request the creation of the domain from Wikimedia's operations people.
Thank you!

Thanks!
It's been over a week without objections, so according to https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Language_committee/Handbook_(committee) , I am moving to Board approval.

Hi,
The Wikipeda in the Livvi-Karelian language has been pretty active in the incubator. After noticing it, I sent a request to an expert I found: Tatyana Pashkova https://petrsu.ru/persons/486/pashkova, candidate of sciences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidate_of_Sciences in the Petrozavodsk State University https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrozavodsk_State_University, specializing in Karelian languages. This was back in July, and today she finally replied and said that the language is indeed Livvi-Karelian (see the forwarded email conversation in Russian below).
The activity in the incubator https://tools.wmflabs.org/meta/catanalysis/index.php?cat=0&title=Wp/olo&wiki=incubatorwiki is still pretty good, with at least four contributors making dozens of contributions every month for the last year, and the translation of the most used messages https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:Translate?filter=%21translated&action=translate&group=core-0-mostused&language=olo is complete.
Given all this, I suggest approving it and creating the domain olo.wikipedia.org.

Уважаемый Амир!!!! Все статьи, на которые Вы мне отправили ссылки, написаны на ливвиковском наречии карельского языка. Я это подтверждаю. С уважением, Пашкова

Уважаемая Татьяна Владимировна,
Меня зовут Амир Аарони. Я обращаюсь к вам от имени языкового комитета Википедии, свободной многоязычной энциклопедии в интернете.
Нам была подана просьба открыть новый раздел Википедии на ливвиковском карельском языке. Для этого нам требуется небольшая консультация эксперта по этому языку.
Всё, что требуется, это понять, действительно ли написаны статьи в инкубаторе-черновике этой Википедии на это языке.
Вот заглавная страница: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Pi%C3%A4sivu
И вот несколько примеров статей: https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Komiettu https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Mustu_loukko https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Kosmoj%C3%A4rvi https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Ala-Kuittij%C3%A4rvi https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Atomu https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/olo/Arheolougii
Большое спасибо!
