Steven, may you find an appropriate place on the LanCom page to
describe your role, as well as to add your name into the list, with
the comment that you are the clerk and a non-voting member? Maybe a
different color in the chart would be useful, as well.

Dear fellow LangCom members,
I've thought about Steve's proposal and have come to
the conclusion that we should accept it. More and
more volunteer-based committees of non-profit
organisations appoint such clerks. (I've seen it in
an international school context which was run by a
volunteer board.)
The main advantage, imho, is that (quite apart from
lightening the load of administrative burdens) such a
clerk can keep us on our toes. Especially when a lull
in interaction comes up (which is bound to happen in
the future just as regularly as it has happened in
the past - life is too busy for most if not all of us).
So, I vote for appointing Steve as our clerk.
In the hope of speeding up LangCom's tasks,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I would like to propose that the Language Committee
formally appoint me as clerk. In a similar vein to
the way clerks work for bodies like the English
Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, my purpose in this
is to keep things moving on-wiki that do not
really require a member of the LangCom to post
on-wiki directly, except as a matter of formal
procedure. Thus, for example, I would see this
appointment as authorizing the following actions:
* Marking projects as "eligible" when it's
obvious—for example, languages that clearly have
a large speaker base, and perhaps already have
an open Wikimedia project. Anything that is
remotely controversial—langcode is for a
macrolanguage or constructed language, little or
no speaker base, ancient language, etc.—I would
not mark, unless expressly authorized by
LangCom. Even when I mark an obvious project as
"eligible", I would post here that I have done so.
* Marking new project proposals or closing project
proposals as approved or not approved when (and
only when) a definitive decision has been taken
according to the rules set out by LangCom. For
example, based on Oliver's posting of 29
October, if there is no further comment on the
matter, I would mark the requests to close
Nahuatl Wikipedia and Transkievica Wikipedia as
rejected on 5 November, one week after Oliver's
posting.
There are two main reasons that I am requesting you
to appoint me formally. At a certain level, the
rules already allow me to take such actions on-wiki
if I find compelling enough reason—discussions are
unreasonable, disruptive, personal, etc. However,
there is room for people to object on the technical
grounds that only LangCom members may do these things.
Further, if there were a strong history of LangCom
members in fact handling these things promptly
on-wiki, there would be no need for me to make this
request. But the history, if anything, is otherwise.
So I think this would be a positive step for
LangCom to take in order to reduce the number of
open RFL and PCP requests sitting out there in limbo.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
Steven White (User:StevenJ81)
