Over the two months there have been many comments and direct edits by
members of the community; I have worked diligently to reflect those
comments where people could not be bothered to make their own edits.

There was a motion to adopt it 2 months ago, and a motion to adopt it last
meeting, and a motion to adopt it this meeting.

There will be a motion to adopt it at the next meeting, and if the
community hasn't reached wide-spread agreement on the statement by then, I
will give up.

"Conducting the business" is a vague statement, but for me no business was
conducted - it was a total failure - because I assert that in concrete
terms that phrase means voting on motions, which is why I have posted a
motion to establish a formal procedure for the meetings.

The procedure I posted allows for the report from the Translation Community
Manager to be announced by the chair :) I expect that report to be on the
wiki. Where is it? :)
