Dear Debbie,
I have no doubt you can pass the infomation you think appropriate to
ISO TC46 and AFNOR. Even if sometimes you may not be fully informed.
We the people" (I relate with on this list and others, include
several TC46/WG2 Members from several countries) may:
- simply want to help you best tuning what you suggest to become our
common terminology (my personnal intent)
- not want to blankly support an ISO NWIP Intenationalized Country
Codes you advertise with an odd name and keep so secret.
As I told you: if that secret NWIP of yours is appoved, your plan is
financed, and your project is completed, I will necessarily be one of
your first users (if I am not dead - you may recall I wait for your
ISO 639-6 preliminary table since Dec. 2005). The "debbie_class" is
already in our metadata and in our bases for the proposed NWIP. I
will also be one of your first disseminators and advocate, if your
product is good. "We the users of the world" want only to make sure
your AU/GB/US adequate poposition (which has its room as such)
equally cross-desserves the 189 other national cultural spaces, and
your documented 30.000 geolinguistic units.
I see your signing. Is an "author" different from a "proposed project
leader"? Is this why I heared about another person for the project
itself? I understand you short the long NWIP title, but would it not
be better to write "ISO NWIP Internationalized (non-ASCII) Country
Code", because the implied "internationalized" ISO definition is
important to everyone, we discover this way you are at several codes
in one shot, and if I do know what a country internationalised code
element might be, I have no idea of what an intenationalised country might be.
