Generally, for a proposed policy to be implemented, it requires some degree of consensus and compromise.
So far, there is no consensus, although there have been some attempts at compromise.
Of course, if the Board wants to go ahead and make it policy, that's their decision to make, but I don't support it in its current form (see my comments on the talkpage).

If you board guys could stamp your approval on that policy and explicitly state I have authority for new-language addition following those rules as Chief Technical Doohickey, I'd be happy to do it.
That would indeed mean a huge step forward. If those clear, objective rules are officially implemented they will provide security to both developers and proposers of new languages. A win-win situation. That proposed policy really ought to become effective ASAP.

P.S.: Those requests listed at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Approved_requests_for_new_languages are already fulfilling all requirements of the proposed policy.
