Re: [ISSUE-109]: disambiguation ITS 2.0 requirements w.r.t Indian [Indic] languages [ACTION-418]

Thanks, Somnath. FYI, I have subscribed you to the 
public-multilingualweb-lt-comments list, so that your mails get through. 
At moment I cannot give more directions than to propose you to start 
writing :) Would it be ok for you to join the working group, to move 
things forward easier?

Best,

Felix
