Hi -

As a technical contributor...

I, too, oppose re-chartering ltru at this time.
The additions made by the documents recently approved
take us well past the point of diminishing returns
in terms of language coverage.

What that might convince me that re-chartering was needed
would be the appearance large quantities of data in large
numbers of languages in use by substantial speech communities
not covered by the recent updates, and not adequately handled
by the registration procedures.  I don't think that's going to
happen anytime in the foreseeable future.

Randy
