It's true that the work of the Language Community stands out as one of
the few areas of community participation (in that the LangCom members
are not employees of the WMF) closed to public or community
observation. Certain other groups do this (the English Wikipedia
Arbitration Committee comes to mind, as do checkuser lists, because of
the private information potentially disclosed to these groups) but the
reasoning used to censor the LangCom records is... quirky, to say the
least. I think most everyone would be more comfortable if the
committee performed its work in the open -- aside, I suppose, from
those committee members who prefer to be protected from scrutiny.
