I was not seeking to participate in the meeting. I was simply hoping to 
send a document about my idea for a Many to many substitution and 
localization feature to be added.

I do not have the necessary expertise in font technology to perform such 
a role. I have made a few fonts, including some with glyphs for symbols 
that I have designed in relation to my research in communication through 
the language barrier in some particular circumstances using encoded 
localizable sentences, but I am not an expert in font technology.

Oh! I did not know that. Though in fairness, there is nothing about that 
on the

<https://lists.aau.at/mailman/listinfo/mpeg-otspec>
 
webpage. It looks like anyone can join and post.
 
I do not know what are the ISO rules.
 
Should my suggestion of a Many to many substitution and localization 
feature not have been posted in this mailing list?

Is there a way that a future Working Group mandate could include a Many 
to many substitution and localization feature please?
