I believe we reached such an agreement on the mailing list. There were no
dissident voices, so I believe that the decision to separate is ok for at
least most of the people who participated in the discussion.

If I'm wrong, anyone disagreeing about my interpretation of the discussions
should voice their opinion.

We discussed this matter on the mailing list, as well as on the IRC channel.
It wasn't a very long discussion as there were no disagreeing voices from the
translation groups. I believe we're over the discussion, and I don't see what
more there is to "discuss". Everyone, including Linux-Aktivaattori, can
CONTRIBUTE their help to localisation efforts or to anything else they wish,
with no need to bow to any organisations or authorities. That's what voluntary
work is about.

In any case, Linux-Aktivaattori is not a translation group itself, so it has
very little saying on how the groups should collaborate or otherwise organise.
I have neither, but as I said, I believe we found a consensus (at least by the
vocal majority) on this matter and the consensus was to continue the
"organised" collaboration separate from L-A's authority.
