on the August 2010 board meeting the board had talked about the responsibilities of the board, the staff and the committees (minutes here: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Minutes/July_8,_2010 ). The board had worked through this with the RASCI matrix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_assignment_matrix ). We had decided that the creation and closing of projects are responsibilities of the LangCom, the board should be informed about its decision. We believe that the LangCom has the knowledge and the professionism in issuing the correct policies, as it had showed in the past. When the LangCom came up with its new closing project policy proposal the board discussed it and thought that the policy is good. I therefore informed the LangCom that the board has no objection on this policy. There is no need for the board to issue a resolution on this.
Thanks, Ting!
