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.
