As Chair of the Unicode Technical Committee, I'd like to second Ken's
suggestion.
Appendix B of "The Unicode Standard" covers the basic requirements for a
proposal.
You should also fill out the form available at this URL:
http://osiris.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/prot/form1.html
and submit it with your proposal. The UTC works closely with ISO/IEC
JTC1/SC2/WG2, the Working Group responsible for International Standard
ISO/IEC 10646, so this will be needed.
Two recent proposals are excellent models of what the UTC would like to
receive:
Syriac Script
http://www.unicode.org/pending/syriac/default.htm
Western Music Symbols
http://www.lib.virginia.edu/dmmc/Music/UnicodeMusic/
The next UTC meeting is scheduled for December 2-4, hosted by Novell in San
Jose. If you would be interested in attending, please contact Julia
Oesterle, Administrative Director of the Unicode Office
<julia@unicode.org>.
Thank you for your interest in the Unicode Standard,
-- Joan Aliprand
Chair, UTC
