Our new member is Huib Laurens (meta:User:Huib). His main role is to help us in keeping up to date archives of our mailing list [1] and other technical things. However, LangCom doesn't have strictly divided roles, which means that Huib is a also a full member of LangCom, which includes decision making, too.

If I counted well: 9 native Germanic speakers, 2 Romance and 2 Slavic. Or 10 centum and 2 satem or 10 Northern Indo-European and two Southern or all Western Indo-European.
But, at least in this moment of time, it is not up to the LangCom members, but up to the persons interested in LangCom.
While we are trying to find persons with specific expertise, it doesn't mean that initiative is not welcome. In other words, if someone sends to a LangCom member a good initiative, we wouldn't ignore it. AFAIK, at least two persons have become LangCom members because of personal initiative; including myself.
