I don't understand the benefit that you expect to see from this. I see
clear costs: There is no longer a way for the international community of
font experts to contribute easily to the MOFF format.

There any many font experts in japan, but if none are in Japanese SC29
mirror, I think they can more easily join the AHG than the SC.

Please could you explain what you expect the outcome of not re-establishing
it to be?
