Why it was left off is not the main issue at this point. We established consensus in San Juan on the commitment to Spanish as a language for our region, as Puerto Rico is within our region.
Since it was decided not to include the language specification in the one document, we didnt achieve the intent of our consensus and our commitment.
How do we handle the call for insertion of that component into the appropriate document? We have had a motion called for and seconded. Is there a specific textual insertion that has been shared?

That's my recollection, too. Canada has two official languages, the US
has none, but fortunately the dominant US language is pretty close to one
of the Canadian ones.
