Well, I guess that clinches it. Who will inform Rehmat Aziz about his request to join LangCom being denied? Or do we simply "answer" by not replying? Do we have a policy concerning communication with individuals?

Fwiw,
Oliver

Re new members: How am I supposed to gauge whether a newly proposed
LangCom member is proactive enough to pass muster?

In more general terms: Do we need a discussion on this list about our
functionality?
I've just seen that there was a discussion about LangCom on Meta about
a month ago
(https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Forum&diff=prev&oldid=11635136#Is_the_Language_Committee_still_active.3F).
Fine, so I'm considered active - but I'm only really active on this
mailing list (and on sw:wp and by extension on wikidata but that's a
different matter). If someone contacts me on a talk page, chances are
that I won't respond. And I also don't feel comfortable engaging in
discussions outside of this mailing list.

SO: Is it sufficient for me to react to posts on this mailing list
which concern my agreement or disagreement with regard to a new
language project? Or do you, my fellow LangCom members, prefer for me
to resign if I don't feel able to be more proactive than that?

Fwiw,
Oliver
