[egov] Re: Proposed Diplomatic Communications Sub-Committee

Steve/Ranjeeth

This recent discussion has moved us a long way from my original idea of the scope of a Language SC within the e-Gov TC, and we may well now be talking about the need for two SCs.   I'll add it to our agenda on 12 March so that we can consider further and others can input their views.   So until then can we reserve judgement please.

Ranjeeth
It would be useful to see the draft charter for the HumanML SC before 12/3 please

All:

I've corresponded with the chair and vice-chair of the HumanML TC. 
They've agreed that a better name for their SC would be "conflict 
resolution". I can see how this could be synonomous with "diplomacy" in 
same cases, but giving it the latter name name could cause confusion 
with some parts of what the e-Gov TC could be doing. So they will be 
renaming the SC.

The HumanML TC chair, Ranjeeth Thunga, will be participating in the 
e-Gov TC in order to liaison between the two TCs.
