2) Eurocentrism. Not an accusation to be made lightly,
but look at the
geographic composition of the langcom. 9/13 members currently reside
in Europe, another is originally from Europe, 2 from Canada and 1 from
California. Hmm... so the population of Europe is 10% of the Earth's
population, but (nearly) 100% of the population of the LangCom? This
is a huge bias and should not be tolerated within an organization such
as ours which pretends to have an international scope.
-m.
I guess if 75% of the members were from the US nobody would ever complain.
Europe still has several dozens of languages.
