I have never represented the U.S. at any conference or in any capacity. At the Unicode conference I represented Everson Typography which is based in Ireland. At some international standards meetings I also represent Everson Typography (in Working Groups where only experts are present), and of course at others like SC2 I am the NSAI-nominated representative for Ireland. -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
