I think that it is possible to find a way to say your conclusions
publicly by saying "an expert from LangCom said that" or "during the
discussion we concluded this because of that". If it is not possible,
I am afraid that you should find another expert. You are not a
department of a commercial company, but a committee of an organization
and a community for whom transparency is a very important part of
functioning.

Good procedural way is better than chaotic one, of course. Bad
procedural work is worst than chaotic one. Try to make better
procedures.

Which project?
