    Hi,

    Note the following (and see complete text of note below):

    - The Web Services (WS) Task Force is investigating the needs and problems
       in the area of internationalization of Web Services, in particular the
       dependency of Web Services on language, culture, region, and
    locale-related
       contexts.
       The chair of the Web Services Task Force is Addison Phillips, webMethods.
       See http://www.w3.org/International/ws for how you can participate.

    Cheers,
    - Ira McDonald

    Dear Internationalizers,

    As announced at the International Unicode Conference in San Jose
    the W3C Internationalization Activity has recently been restructured,
    and the Internationalization Working Group (WG) and Interest Group (IG)
    have been re-chartered. We are sure that this will provide you with
    increased possibilities to contribute to Web Internationalization
    in the widest sense, and are looking forward to your participation.

    More information can be found at
         http://www.w3.org/International/about
    and in the WG charter
         http://www.w3.org/2002/05/i18n-recharter/WG-charter.

    The Working Group now consists of three Task Forces (see below)

    - The Core Task Force is continuing previous work: completing the
       Character Model for the World Wide Web and the Internationalized
       Resource Identifiers (IRIs) specifications, and continuing reviewing
       specifications produced by other W3C Working Groups.
       The chair of the WG and the Core Task Force is Misha Wolf, Reuters.
       See http://www.w3.org/International/core for how you can participate.

    - The Web Services (WS) Task Force is investigating the needs and problems
       in the area of internationalization of Web Services, in particular the
       dependency of Web Services on language, culture, region, and
    locale-related
       contexts.
       The chair of the Web Services Task Force is Addison Phillips, webMethods.
       See http://www.w3.org/International/ws for how you can participate.
    - The GEO (Guidelines, Education & Outreach) Task Force is helping to get
       the internationalization aspects of W3C technology better understood and
       more widely and consistently used.
       The chair of the GEO Task Force is Richard Ishida, W3C. See
       http://www.w3.org/International/geo/howto-join-geo for how you can
    participate.

    This list will be used for general public discussion on
    Web Internationalization, but with increased technical focus.

    Regards, Martin.
