Re: [tei-council] Fwd: A proposal for a SIG

I believe the list is configured to strip only attachments with the following extensions: exe bat cmd com pif scr vbs cpl chm asp It's also configured to reject messages over 8192 KB, but I don't think Hugh's would have come through at all if that had been the case. So not sure where we went wrong ... On 5/15/16 10:31 AM, Hugh Cayless wrote:

Hi Hugh, the proposal doesn't seem to have been attached?

I happen to have already seen a draft of it and am in support of it. My only suggestion is that the broader remit of 'East Asian' is better than one specific language/culture.

From: "Kiyonori Nagasaki" Subject: A proposal for a SIG Date: May 14, 2016 at 3:13:02 EDT To: "Hugh Cayless" Cc: nagasaki@dhii.jp, acmuller@l.u-tokyo.ac.jp

Dear chair of the TEI Technical Council,

We would hereby like to submit our proposal, in the attached file, for the creation of a TEI SIG for the markup of Japanese texts. Through our discussions and experiments of encoding Japanese texts according to the TEI guidelines, we have come to the conclusion that it would be quite useful to create a SIG within the TEI consortium to develop a consensus of guidelines for encoding Japanese texts. The creation of such a research unit would also no doubt be effective toward the encouragement of Japanese researchers to get involved in the TEI. Moreover, as we write in the proposal, we also are quite open to the idea of expanding this SIG to becoming an "East Asian SIG" for those research communities that share similar writing systems. It might be a model to expand the TEI guidelines to multi-languages and multi-cultures.

Please do let us know if you need any further detailed explanations regarding the content of our proposal.

Regards,

Kiyonori Nagasaki
