Unicode® Technical Committee
The Unicode Technical Committee (UTC), is responsible

, including
the
Unicode Character Database

and Unicode Technical
Standards. As appropriate, the UTC releases

Meetings
The UTC meets on a quarterly basis (see
calendar
for dates and locations). The agenda for each meeting is posted in advance in the
Current UTC Document Register
and is announced on the members only mailing list.
All UTC decisions are made
in accordance with the
Technical Group Procedures
, subject to additional limitations set forth in applicable
Unicode Policies
Full members of the Unicode Consortium have one vote.
Supporting members have half a vote. Associate, liaison, and individual members (along with invited observers) also participate in the UTC meetings but
do not vote.
To add a topic to the UTC meeting agenda, members should send
their request via email to the UTC chairs (see Officers below) with
"UTC Agenda" in the subject line. To submit proposals or other
documents for review, follow the
instructions for submitting documents
and also request a corresponding agenda item.
Contact the Unicode office
for
more information.
Proposals for new characters or scripts
are subject to additional requirements on content and format.
Following each meeting, the UTC produces a set of meeting minutes, action items and motions voted upon.
Information about UTC meetings
(including agendas and minutes) and the
UTC document registers
are
publicly available. Access to
other member resources
are for members only. To become a member, see
