MLTF meeting before IGF
2006-10-02 19:40:55
The MLTF project (Multilingual Internet Technical Forum) was
initiated two years ago. It was delayed by the debate regarding the
IANA Language Subtags and Extensions Registries. During that time,
meetings were held in Versailles in order to guide an
interoperability and innovation protection strategy. Today, the RFC
4646 has been published which matches our requirements and should
support the IETF internationalization plane (however, its
implementation still calls for attention).
The MLTF core can now resume its endeavour towards the
standardisation, development, documentation, testing, and industrial
deployment assistance that was called for by the IGF for the
multilingualisation of the Internet and the entire digital ecosystem.
It was introduced at the ITU/UNESCO joint meeting in Geneva, and
discussed at the ISOC EGENI meeting in Paris. It is one of the
substantive contributions to the Athens IGF meeting

An MLTF concertation meeting will be held in Versailles on 5 October
2006 and pursued in Athens (before the 1 November 2006 session). To
attend the first meeting at the invitation of the Versailles Chamber
of Commerce you must be registered for security reasons. A
preparatory mailing list has been set-up that you can join by sending
a mail to info(_at_)mltf(_dot_)org(_dot_) You will find information about this meeting
at <http://mltf.org/>http://mltf.org. Some of the key international
technical partners of the Multilingual Internet governance will
attend or will be represented.
Several IETF Drafts for information will be discussed concerning the
languages e-empowerment path, the multilingualisation of the
Internet, a united model for the multilingual, multitechnology
digital ecosystem, the place of the Internet in this model, the
relations with its SSDOs and the interest of the proposition of an
IETF WG-Multilingualisation for the IETF techhnology aspects. The
organisation of the MLTF, the preparation of a Spring 2007 meeting,
and the economic model, analysis, development, testing, ontology
constitution, gathering, and maintenance, deployment of a
multilingual distributed referential system (MDRS) are all on the agenda.
The priority is to permit ISO 11179 conformant crosswalk
interoperability with the IANA registries - once they have stabilised
- as well as with the other Language codes, standards, and services.
This should be achieved through the MDRS langroot.
