Although I agree with Yves's reasons for wanting ITS to have a separate list, I do disagree with the this characterization of the winter list. This list serves many communities, not always with "in-depth internationalization" issues, and specifically counts the audiences listed above as part of it. Discussion of ITS application or usage in the broader context of Web globalization can and possibly should occur on this list. > > Part of the goals of the ITS IG would be to help in the implementation of ITS-aware applications (there are already some > collaborative efforts started), gathering feedback, etc. so communication may need to be a bit more active than for an IG like the > i18n IG. > I think having and maintaining an IG for the maintenance of ITS is an important and vital function. It is also important as a means of providing "expert assistance" to implementers and users. Addison -- Addison Phillips Globalization Architect -- Yahoo! Inc.
