Communication can only be done about things you know about. There has been no communication to the ComCom about SUL since a long time.
If your remit is such that you are required to communicate things about a particular project, then it is within your responsibility to find that out, by asking questions, by doing research - the actual implementation plans are there, in Subversion, for anyone to see - as is the code - and by pestering the developer(s) concerned until you know everything you feel you need to.
Review his presentations, review his plans, hell - ask Brion for an interview if you think that you can compose the questions.
About certain things is known that there is something going on but nothing concrete. I know there was supposed to be announced/presented on Wikimania a new skin for the WMF wikis. How it looks like and of it was presented I do not know.
Who said this? Pester them. Pester the Board, since they would presumably know something about this.
The Communications Committee is actually nothing more then a mailing list. What is not send to there is unknown.
Then it sounds like the committee is malformed and needs to be created anew, with fresh volunteers, and with a proper understanding of what its purpose is. And as I suspected, the blame does lie higher.
