Decide how we work together

Conversation with Mustapha Khamissa
I would appreciate a framework for choosing which languages we serve, but I think "official languages" might not be the best terminology. I'm coming from a Canadian perspective, where official languages means that that everyone has the right to equal service in English or French. If that is what is being proposed, I dont agree with the workload that would impose on the People Powered team, to be offering, for example, PP University seminars in each language we choose. We should certainly have a framework for choosing which languages the website and its materials are automatically translated into.
I agree with your perspective Mustapha. Do you have an example of framework that we could use?
I dont have an example unfortunately Clara! But I would prefer a situation where the languages served are reviewed once a year by members and there's consideration put to which languages should or shouldn't be added to the list.
