"Bullied" may be a word too strong. And, by definition, people who
complain, like Karen and you, are not silenced by the bullies :-)

The problem, for a group which is supposed to work on language tags
for the whole world, is that participation seems to be almost only
from people in Europe/USA. But that's a complicated topic, for which I
offer no solution today (RFC 3774, 2.6.6).

I was not able to participate to any teleconference (for various
reasons, one of them being that I'm quite bad with spoken english, see
again RFC 3774, 2.6.6). But the whole discussion was also on the
mailing list and I feel I have a complete picture from the list.

True, the mailing list is difficult to follow and there is no
synthesis or summary but this is a general IETF problem (apparently
not discussed in RFC 3774), not specific to LTRU. Asking on the
mailing list for a summary generally provides good results, as you
have seen last week.
