UTC #111 Agenda
May 24, 2007
[111-C1] Consensus: Commendation and thanks to Asmus Freytag, from Mark Davis: Dr. Asmus Freytag has recently retired from active participation in Unicode. Asmus has played a key role in the development of Unicode from the very beginning. He made important contributions to the general structure, architecture, and properties of the Unicode Standard. Asmus also drove the effort to define the Unicode character property model, was the author of two Unicode Standard Annexes, and co-author of one other. For years, Asmus has also organized and produced the charts for the standard, together with the program used to generate them. We regret that Asmus will no longer be involved formally in Unicode -- but welcome future feedback on Unicode issues from him insofar as he is able. I'm sure you also join with us in wishing him well in his future enterprises.
