Subject: [NISO tc46ballots] Call for chair for ISO TC 46 working group on
Conversion of written languages - deadline December 31, 2013

 

The ISO TC46 Secretary has issued a call for a convenor (chairperson) for
WG3, on Conversion of Written Languages. This group is responsible for the
standards listed below related to transliteration or romanization of various
languages. These standards are all published, but undergo systematic reviews
every five years and are sometimes in need of revision. If such a revision
were agreed to, the convenor would be responsible for managing the working
group that develops the revision. (Depending on the standard in question,
the particular working group members may be different due to needed language
expertise.) Working groups typically do their work via conference calls and
email. Occasionally they meet during the TC46 Plenary Meeting Week, but the
decision on whether to hold an in-person meeting is up to the convenor and
WG members.

 

If anyone is interested in applying to be the convenor for this Working
Group (or knows of someone else who would like to apply), please e-mail me
no later than December 31, 2014.
