    If you would like to show your support for Unicode/ISO 10646, here is an
    opportunity. Since this is in the ANSI world, you want to use

    ISO/IEC 10646:2003 Information technology - Universal Multiple-Octet
    Coded Character Set (UCS)

    as the title of the standard.

    Eric.

    Dear Colleagues:

     

    I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!

     

    The ANSI communications team would greatly appreciate the support of our
    member organizations in spreading the word about the 2008 Standards That
    Make a Difference
    <http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey-intro.zgi?p=WEB227NYNH8EQZ>
    survey.

     

    First launched in 2002, this initiative highlights and raises awareness
    of the standards that are most important to various industry sectors.
    For those of you that are standard-setting bodies, this could be a great
    way to promote standards that you have developed; others may wish to
    highlight those documents that are being most frequently used by your
    industry. The input gathered will be used by ANSI to develop case
    studies, news items, and other outreach and awareness-building
    collateral about the global impact of standardization programs. A
    complete list of entries received will be published on ANSI Online and
    displayed during World Standards Week 2008
    <http://www.ansi.org/meetings_events/wsw08/wsw08.aspx?menuid=8> .

     

    There is also an incentive to participate! Every eligible entry will be
    entered into a random drawing for one of three $100 American Express
    Gift Cards. The drawing will be held at the conclusion of the ANSI
    Annual Business Meeting
    <http://www.ansi.org/meetings_events/online_calendar/event_details.aspx?
    menuid=8&eid=1353> on Thursday, October 23, 2008.

     

    * A direct link to the survey - including descriptive text - can
    be found here:
    http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/survey-intro.zgi?p=WEB227NYNH8EQZ

     

    * Additional background information can be found in this ANSI
    Online news item:
    http://www.ansi.org/news_publications/news_story.aspx?menuid=7&articleidQ
    =1798

     

    * Entries may be American National Standards, standards
    developed by the ISO or IEC, or from any other domestic, regional or
    international body - including consortia. Each entry must refer to a
    standard that is already published and in use in the marketplace;
    standards that are still a work in progress will be excluded from this
    survey.

     

    * The deadline for submission is Friday, September 19, 2008.

     

    Please let us know if you need any supplemental graphics or text to
    include in your news item or member communications. We would also
    appreciate it if you could send us a copy of anything that you run about
    the survey. In turn, we look forward to sharing the survey results with
    you!

     

    Thank you for your help.

     

    Best regards,

    Meg

     

    P.S. Now that summer is here, you may be looking for some news to round
    out your member communications during the slower months. We encourage
    you to visit the ANSI Media Tips and Case Studies
    <http://www.ansi.org/news_publications/media_tips/media_tips.aspx?menuid
    =7> page on ANSI Online for ideas about standards-related content. We
    also ask that you let us know if you have ideas for additional content
    that will highlight the work of your organization.
