\subsection*{Forming a Technical Working Group:}

Here is a list of the currently active Technical Working Groups (\twg
s). If you wish to form a \twg\ for an area of particular interest
you should contact any one of the Technical Council members with your
suggestion. We encourage any new \twg\ for which there is an
enthusiastic chair and an interested constituency. If you wish to
participate in a particular \twg, please contact the chair. All
participation in a \twg\ is at the discretion of the \twg\ chair.

%% Title:
{Independent Projects}
%%
%% Mandate:
{To recognize and report to the \TeX\ Board and the \TeX\ Community on
important projects which are independent of \tug\ but are of concern
to the entire \TeX\ Community. Due to its independent nature, each
such project will retain complete control over its membership, working
methods and agenda.  The chair of the Independent Projects Working
Group shall report, with the cooperation of a project's management, on
that project's activities to the \tug\ Board and thence to the \TeX\
Community.  The reporting function of the \twg\ Chair shall in no way
interfere or preclude reporting or dissemination of the results of a
project by the project management or by members of the project.}

{\bf Title:} Multiple Language Coordination
\vspace{-6pt}

%% Mandate: 
   \item [Mandate:] The primary purpose of this working group is to
         obtain, for \TeX\ systems, a consistent means for
         implementing, accessing, and describing, the fonts, ligature
         rules, hyphenation patterns and other special requirements
         for a given linguistic group. Each linguistic group shall
         have a Group Coordination Chair who shall be responsible for
         discussions and implementation of those features and macros
         requir\-ed for their group. In addition, the working group
         shall strive to create uniform mechanisms for access and
         definitions that are common to each linguistic group.
