Marco, with due respect, I first posted a notice on this on March 19. I let it run until
April 2. Up to that point, the only member of LangCom (other than me) who had commented
substantively was Gerard. Then on April 2 I announced that if I didn't hear anything
else from anyone in another week, I was going to close as rejected. And I heard nothing
else, even from Gerard. So on April 9 I marked as rejected. That fulfilled all requirement
of the current voting policy.
Frankly, I wish more members of the Committee would take a more active role in
discussions. But I am trying very hard not to allow requests to back up, and to work
through backlogs. So as long as all requirements of policy have been met, I will continue
to move things along.

Hi,
Rejecting request to close Malagasy Wikibooks—comment by only one LangCom
member is
not sufficient to constitute consensus to close a project that
has no violatons of fundamental rules
Sorry but I find this rather innapropriate and contrary to LangCom voting
rules as stated at: <
https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wiki…
and the
closure of projects policy decision policy <
https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmeta.wiki…;reserved=0>.
There has to be a proposal comming from a LangCom member, announced on this
list and to the community, and thereafter a voting has to take place, with
the Board holding ultimate vetoing power.
None of such steps have been taken.
The decision should be reversed as being done against policy.
Thanks, M.
