I think we need to distinguish between official processes and official products. The stamp "This cuntu is an official LLG process" should be handed out pretty freely: the President (backed by his board) should be able to authorize this more or less on the spur of the moment. (Of course it can be withdrawn if le se cuntu are going too seriously off the rails, like creating another language or something.) OTOH, "This book/program/website/whatever is an official product of the LLG" should require a whole lot more review. I think dividing the issue this way should go a long way to satisfying the seemingly conflicting needs. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com Please leave your values | Check your assumptions.
