Technically not true:

    Following the formal declaration of the baseline, the LLG Board
    will assign a committee, probably a rump form of the byfy, with
    the task of supporting baseline compliance. Any person or group
    who creates a text in Lojban, or who writes or translates
    language description materials or language teaching materials in
    any language, may submit that effort to the committee for
    review; the committee may also choose to review an effort on its
    own without formal submission.

That's from

However, we need to finish the cmavo before we can even contemplate
declaring baseline.
