Unicode expert group for international text in source code

[Tom Honermann]

Hi, Mark and Markus.

I received the announcement about the new Unicode group that will be 
investigating problems and solutions relating to international text in 
programming languages.

I currently chair the ISO WG21 SG16 study group focused on C++ Unicode 
and text programming. A subset of WG21 recently agreed to pursue 
addressing "Trojan Source"-like problems within WG21; probably in the 
form of a technical report. This was in response to a paper that was 
submitted to WG21; P2528R0 (C++ Identifier Security using Unicode 
Standard Annex 39) <https://wg21.link/p2528r0>. (The paper needs some 
significant work before it will be ready for further review within WG21; 
it is a difficult read at present). Thus, some subset of WG21 will be 
working on guidance and recommendations for C++ implementors and I would 
like to ensure that such efforts are aligned with the new Unicode group.

Please let me know how I might apply to join the group and what 
requirements or expectations might exist.

Tom.
