[IAEP] Motions to create position of Translation-Community Manager

[James Cameron]

I'm not sure the translation team wants to be led in that way, and I'd
not like to lose volunteers.  We have so few.

The hiding of SLOBs deliberations once they move to their private
mailing list caused this situation; Wiki technology is a bad match for
decision making bodies unless clear processes are used.  There was
nothing in the history of the page to indicate it was part of a
motion.

I'd like to see some more transparency.
