2. Registration of Font-related Identifiers

2.1 Responsibility Transfer to Glocom of the Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036

(1) Background

Unicode Consortium requested to take responsibility of the Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036 and it was accepted by ISO (see JTC1 N5720: Appointment of the Unicode Consortium as Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036). Just after the acceptance, the Authority declared that the registration activity should be stopped due to no more requirements for registration (see SC34 N0092), and requested to withdraw the ISO/IEC 10036.

(2) JTC1/SC34 Meeting in Dec. 1999

JTC1/SC34 met in Dec. 1999 and confirmed that the Liaison organization cannot request a withdrawal of existing standards and that the withdrawal should be discussed in a periodic review procedure of the standard. SC34 accepted the following resolution on Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036:

SC 34 notes the possibility of Japan's assuming responsibility of the Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036 and requests that a final decision on whether someone in Japan will be able to do this be taken by 1 June 2000.

(3) Glocom's proposal

Responding the resolution of SC34, Glocom submitted a proposal (SC34 N0145) to take responsibility of the Registration Authority.

(4) JTC1/SC34 Meeting in June 2000

SC34 appreciated the Glocom's proposal and accepted the following resolution:

SC 34 notes SC 34 N 145, Letter from Glocom Regarding the Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036, confirming their agreement to assume responsibility of the Registration Authority for ISO/IEC 10036. SC 34 approves this transfer of responsibility and requests that this request be submitted to JTC 1 for approval.

(5) JTC1 Meeting in Nov. 2000

JTC1 approved (in JTC1 N6340) the responsibility transfer to Glocom of the registration authority for ISO/IEC 10036.

2.2 Technical Corrigendum to ISO/IEC 10036

ISO/IEC 10036:1996 specifies an application form for glyph and glyph collection identifiers. For more efficient registration procedure, SC34/WG2 proposed a technical corrigendum (SC34 N0156) to amend the application form into XML DTD.

The proposal was accepted by the TC ballot dated of Nov. 2000 and SC34/WG2 created the final text of the technical corrigendum and forwarded it to SC34 secretariat for publication process.

Specifications of the technical corrigendum are shown in the following attachment:
