I agree with all of you, mostly with Evan, and occasionally with myself.

I'm unsure about a change to the OP so soon, regardless of the subject matter.  We could set a precedent for constantly bickering over what has been agreed on. And, this is what has always been done in the past.  I wouldn't disagree though.

So far as translations, It is my opinion that this is why we have ALSs to spread the word to our constituencies.  I think we should also point out that we should have every document produced translated into Navajo and Hawaiian.  However we have finite resources. 

I agree we should recognize Spanish.  I also agree we should recognize Hawaiian, French, Navajo, English, Inuit, Hoosier, and Texan.

Agreed. Ditto for the recognition of Spanish. Unless I'm missing
something, both these issues are non-controversial and can probably be
done expediently by consensus.

Let's just get on with it. :-)
