[MPEG-OTSPEC] AHG kick-off and AHG meeting announcement

[Vladimir Levantovsky]

Dear all,

Following the last WG03 meeting, we've got an updated set of mandates -
published as WG03N01013 approved at the ISO SC29/WG3 meeting that took
place on Oct. 16-20, 2023.
Our new mandates for the period until the next WG meeting (scheduled on
January 22-26, 2024) are as follows:

1. Review the text of the updated Working Draft of ISO/IEC 14496-22 5th
edition (WG03N01017).

2.   Review the content of the “Technologies under consideration” document
(WG03N01081), work on developing and finalizing specification changes to
accommodate larger character sets and new features, prepare an updated
input contribution and provide recommendations for the WG3 on how these
changes should be integrated in the “Open Font Format” standard.

3. Explore potential future changes and updates, and propose new items (if
applicable) for consideration in the 5th edition of the OFF specification.



The updated text of the ISO/IEC 14496-22 Working Draft (WG03N01017) will be
made available for public review soon, and I will provide a link to it as
soon as it is uploaded. Meanwhile, the "Technologies under consideration
for ISO/IEC 14496-22 5th edition Open Font Format
<https://www.mpeg.org/wp-content/uploads/mpeg_meetings/144_Hannover/w23265.zip>"
document [based on the input contribution we discussed at the WG meeting]
has already been published, and, according to our mandate #2, we should
continue reviewing it to prepare the updated input contribution and provide
AHG recommendations for the WG3.


ISO rules require that the AHG meeting announcements should be made at
least two weeks in advance. Our earliest opportunity to schedule the AHG
meeting will be the week of Nov. 27 (immediately following the Thanksgiving
holidays in the US), or we can postpone it until next week, Dec. 4-8, 2023.
Please let me know what dates work best for you.


Following our previously established practice, the AHG meeting date and
agenda will be shared on this list, but the meeting Zoon link will not be,
due to this list having a public archive. Everybody who has been a
participant in the prior AHG meetings will be automatically invited to the
future AHG meeting as well - if you have not participated in the AHG
meetings in the past and would like to be added to the guest list - please
to this email directly and I will gladly accommodate any and all requests.


Stay tuned for an additional announcement of updated Working Draft
availability - I will share a document link on this list as soon as it's
published.


Thank you,

Vladimir
