In the 2003 annual meeting there was a movement to make Lojban the
language used during LLG meetings. It failed, but maybe something
similar could be considered again. Perhaps a certain percentage of the
discussions should be in Lojban, if 100% is not feasible yet. A "Lojban
Quota" so to speak. Opinions?

The original idea was when we were holding meetings on IRC, and the plan was to have people on a back channel translating and explaining things in real time. the actual meeting would be in Lojban, but the process of getting things into Lojban would have been greatly assisted, for those with insufficient real time skill.
That type of language learning, where a group of learners is attempting to communicate in-language, each assisted by a coach that would help them find the words and modes of _expression_ they need, has been used to achieve rapid fluency in other languages, but it is very intense, and hence hard to imagine working over the several weeks of the current meetings.
I'd love to see it tried sometime on IRC to have a large group discussion with coaching.
