Default New Aviation Terminology

Recently I dug up an article from some magazine concerning the Tenerife
accident when two 747s collided due to language miscomprehension by one of
the pilots. Later in the text, the author wrote that ICAO was working on a
new set of aviation terminology that is supposed to be an "aviation
Esperanto", combining language rules and words of several world languages to
avoid further confusion. Anybody have any detailed info on this? (the
article is vintage 1997).
