[Foundation-l] Closure of projects

[Huib!]

Hello,

I noticed that there are still a lot of open request for closure on Meta 
so I decided to contact a LangCom member (Robin) asking him about how 
and when the projects will be closed or when the requests will be 
closed, but I recieved a answer I didn't expected.

Robin told me there was no policy ( 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Closure_of_WMF_projects ) about the 
closure of projects so the request can stay open for always.


I think its kind of strange that we people can make a request, that 
there are people who are voting and spending there time commenting on 
the request or even worse have stress because there project could be 
closed but the request will never be closed.


Is there a way to change this with a new policy, or with a different com 
for the closure, because this seems to me a waste of time for a lot of 
people, people can stop editting projects just because the think the 
project will be closed.

At this moment there are 27 request for projects to be closed, ( 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposals_for_closing_projects ) I think 
50% is a easy closure for keep or close. The oldest project is from 2007 
that would mean its still open after 2 years :/
