[MPEG-OTSPEC] Agendas and minutes of the Font AHG

Thu Oct 1 02:01:23 CEST 2020

> Please do whatever you would like to do but limit posting any information not relevant to this AHG.  If you have any concerns about SC 29's operation then please raise it to the relevant people and committee. Opening what has happened in SC29 and discussing it here is absolutely not acceptable.

This AHG is certainly required to forward important documents to
parent or grand parent committees so that P-members are informed.

Makoto

>> Dear MURATA-san,
>>
>> I would like to remind you the ISO code of conduct when you participate this AHG.
>>
>> In addition, more importantly, I have serious concern about your first concern as it is not based on any facts and not even relevant to the AHG discussion. It is a matter for SC 29.

>> First, do P-members of SC29 not belonging to the

>> Second, how consensus has been declared in

>>> AHG on Font Format conducts its business online via email list and shared documents (either proposals shared by their authors or WG public output documents shared with AHG members for review. The AHG reports are provided for each WG meeting and summarize AHG activities.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> The AHG typically does not conduct any work via meetings (unless this is specifically indicated as part of the mandate), so the fact that you couldn’t find any “minutes” or “resolutions” isn’t a surprise – by the very nature of our work we submit recommendations to the WG (as part of the AHG report), but we do not make resolutions (like WGs do).
