[suzuki toshiya]

Dear Vladimir,

Thank you very much for confirmation! Thus, SC29/WG3 experts would have the official review periodin future.

I appreciate Josh Hadley, Adobe provided the early access to the draft of their future submission, and I thank you too for notifying the draft.

Regards,
mpsuzuki

The AMD2 has already been promoted to DAM stage at the last meeting and is currently published under ballot that will remain open until March 9, 2022. When the ballot is closed, any further changes in DAM2 document could only be done based on ballot comments, and no new content can be added.

I anticipate that there will be other changes we would like to make as part of the 5th edition work, so the new [future] Working Draft will remain in the WG stage through at least couple of versions before we decided when it is time to promote it to CD. There will be plenty of time for many additional reviews and comments.

>> Adobe is a member of US National Body, and they certainly do not need anyone’s permission or approval to submit their input contribution directly to SC29/WG3. However, because CFF2 is an important part of the OFF standard, I asked them to share their early draft of updated CFF2 spec for public review in this AHG. The public review gives an opportunity for AHG members to comment on the draft, which would only benefit the content of future submission, and provides an additional time for all interested parties to familiarize themselves with the proposed changes.

It summarizes the proposed changes and updates in the current description of the CFF2 table format (sub-clause 5.4.3 of the OFF 4th edition standard). The revised draft text of the new sub-clause is offered for public review.

Please do so – your comments and proposed changes would be very much appreciated.
