[MPEG-OTSPEC] Proposal to discontinue the AdHoc Group

Let me offer a correction: “SVG Glyphs for OpenType” was a W3 Community Group (CG), not a Working Group (WG). That is worth noting, since there are significant differences between those kinds of groups.

The CG had no formal connection to OFF or to OT. It served as an open forum for discussion (in fact, one didn’t need to be a signed-up participant to send messages to the email list, I believe). Furthermore, a W3 CG seemed a natural fit, given the SVG standard’s home in W3C, the heavy involvement of SVG WG members in the development of OT-SVG, and SVG’s own goal of deprecating its <font> element. A “final report” was crafted by the CG & proposed to OT/OFF. That proposal continued to be refined and modified in OT/OFF forums.
