No, and it's not happening. The Committee (as such) has started and ended
its functions within this affair by writing its recommendations. After that
there is nothing going on but private emails from people who happen to also
be LangCom members.

Nevertheless, as a private individual, I will report whatever I perceive as
a blatant NPOV project. I believe we all should.

IMHO what's needed here is simply a bit of personal advice and time to have
everyone calm down and get back to a practically oriented mindset.

If the differences are fewer than those between British and American
English (!), the committee was right to step in to prevent the
manipulative exertion of one over the entire project. Is it right to
dictate how the project should continue from here (apart from
insisting that the alternative orthography shouldn't be exerted
again)?
