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.
