I would like to propose that unlike what existed under Sun and Oracle, the 
linguistic communities _including_ the English speaking community, are all 
identified by a specific language marker and that all the lists that do not use 
that language marker are explicitly multilingual.

The status quo under Sun and Oracle came from the fact that both Sun and Oracle 
were American based and mostly English speaking structures but we have no 
reason to reproduce that in the TDF.


That basically means that:

All the English speaking lists are @en.libreoffice.org

And that all the lists @libreoffice.org are multilingual.

This is the only way to ensure that no linguistic community has more power in 
the decision process than any other which is a basic requirement for all 
democratic process.

There are enough multilingual people in the respective communities to ensure 
that the communication gap is bridged in all those lists.
