Re: [gnso-idn-wg] Item 4.2.2 - Subbiah

HI,
> From a Tamil diaspora perspective, that spans 5 countries where Tamil
is an official/national/significant language, over the past few years
our own language community has shown several times over in the past few

computing standards have been arrived at that later have been adopted by
Microsoft etc. Surely, I see a need for this proposal.
