I just read the proposal and agree that it is both, a good proposal and a good idea. I'd also prefer to reflect a broader orientation of the SIG in it's name, like "East Asian Languages".

While I entirely agree with Syd that it's none of Council's business to tell a SIG what to do, I do think we might take a view on the need for such a SIG, and might also check that other parties with experience in the use of TEI with Japanese and other Asian language texts have been involved. I like to start my talk on how the TEI is actually used by pointing to the Dharma Drum monastery in Taiwan (where Marcus Bingenheimer is, or was) Was, he is now at Temple University in Philadelphia.
which has been actively encoding the sutras in TEI since P3. Christian Wittern, in Kyoto, as a former head of the TEI Council should also be consulted! Charles Muller in Tokyo is another person actively engaged in using TEI for many years.
Charles Muller is also the co-proposer of the SIG.
No doubt Nagasaki is already aware of these old timers (Muller appears as co-author on his DH2016 paper which is reassuring) but it would be nice to be reassured that this SIG will be as inclusive as possible. A list of founder members might perhaps be useful?
Attempting to ensure its inclusiveness is also a good thing. Although the proposers are in Japan one would assume that it is also open to those studying/encoding East Asian texts who aren't residing there. (e.g. Marcus). -James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk Academic IT Services, University of Oxford -- tei-council mailing list tei-council@lists.tei-c.org http://lists.lists.tei-c.org/mailman/listinfo/tei-council PLEASE NOTE: postings to this list are publicly archived
