Charter for the TSCII group.
For almost a year, several font developers, software developers, Tamil scholars and teachers, webmasters and others very interested in the development of a unified character encoding standard for Tamil computing have been discussing and implementing several ideas. The proposal for Tamil Standard Code For Information Interchange (TSCII) (available at http://www.oocities.org/Athens/5180/tsic.html) evolved from these discussions. So far the standards proposal refinement and evolution has been mostly done by a small group of dedicated volunteers.
This informal group, just like the Apache Group has been a "meritocracy" -- if you are willing to devote your time and contribute to the standards( by proposing and testing new ideas), and persuade others that your ideas are worthwhile, your ideas get incorporated into the proposal. Because this has been a loose group with no well defined structure, * NOBODY * really is in charge. Recently a TSCII group has been formed (along the lines of an IETF committee) with a well defined charter, with a clear cut goal; this group will be in charge of getting the TSCII proposal to a standard - possibly an IETF or ISO standard with proper RFCs., etc.
