OOo...
Agreed, this is a technical role - and I think someone like Eike
would
deliver more value in that context. Failing that perhaps Tim Eves from
SIL would fly - will poke him.
But - thanks for pushing the issue Ienup,
The technicality of this role does however not seem obvious to me.
Quoting Ienup's words:
"PS. Being a Liaison Member doesn't cost any money and it is just to
establish a working relationship between the two organizations for
mutual benefits.
The following URLs, especially, the second one, explains about the
Liaison Member at the consortium:
http://www.unicode.org/consortium/unicode-bylaws.html
http://www.unicode.org/consortium/tc-procedures.html
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/process.html
The role of the liaison member is that while they cannot vote at the
Technical Committees, they can send in reps and participate, observe,
comment, or do all of them to influence the standards and also on the
standardization process. Another important thing is official and proper
communication between the two organizations and also the right to access
to all internal standardization documents and data of the Unicode
Consortium in timely manner.
Currently the Unicode Consortium has numerous liaison members
representing
various international, national, and industry standardization
organizations
and groups, various academic and research institutes. The GNOME
Foundation
also joined rather recently.
Usually, each liaison member designates a liaison officer to the Unicode
Consortium and the Unicode Consortium designates a liaison officer to
the liaison member organization. Sometime a single liaison officer is
acting for both organizations.
The role of the liaison officer is to be the official channel of
communication between the two organizations. This communication includes
mostly technical discussions related to the standards."
Best,
Charles.
