Agree with you here, it's well outside my rights as an English speaking American to have an opinion of any merit. However I would still struggle to call handing it over to native speakers a resolution. Many native speakers have incredibly strong feelings on both sides of the argument; and often for very good and valid reasons.
I'm glad the Unicode Consortium exists, because I am CERTAIN I don't want to be the decider or facilitator of these discussions. Way above my pay grade.
