I haven't found any recent communications or activity by him either, so I think we should proceed. What we usually do in these cases is officially give the current language team coordinator a full week's time to reply. In case the coordinator hasn't replied by a week, we will continue with appointing some other coordinator for the affected language team. So, Ismail, please respond in a week from now, and please let us know why you've been unable to respond earlier. Khalid, please remind us (publically and on-list) when a week has passed from now. Also, please let us know (publically and on-list) whether you are volunteering for the new Pashto language team coordinator position.
