According to http://www.ornl.gov/sgml/wg4/document/1908.htm ,
which purports to be a copy of an official ISO document, AFII
has withdrawn as the 10036 registrar. I I can find no information
on who, if anyone, has signed on; there is a mention of the Unicode
Consortium taking over (IIRC, AFII membership is currently a subset of
UC membership), but nothing official.
