It is reasonable per se, so I wonder why the same person think it also
reasonable to put a guideline which was made only through a discussion
by English speaking people to the other language people.

The case is different from the Foundation policies, like privacy
policy or licensing policy, because we trust them the power and right
to settle such globally applied rule. I don't think you are elected in
the same manner. Or I don't think you are delegated to set such a
global rules in a same manner with committees which were settled by
Board resolutions and their initial membership were solely established
in those resolution. I would like you to remind Communication Project
Group is not a committee, and has no power to settle an official
guideline based on delegation from the Board.  I found no good reason
therefore that you command Transcom for working to satisfy your
unofficial desire.
