Organisations

It seems Unicode Inc is the official name - based on some posting found in unicode@unicode.org forum. This is a private company registered in California. Mark Davis, a Google Executive has been the president of this private company, from day-one it was formed to date. The company has registered "Unicode" as its Trademark. It is not registered as any Consortium. It is also not registered as International Institute.

This may be discussed so that information be corrected as applicable.

You might be on to something. I find this: The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organisation devoted to .... It presents itself as a (the) functioning organisation (members, directors, office, lawful institute). For sure, this is the place where cooperation takes place. Now you might be right in the "Unicode Inc." as a formal registration (and owner of rights).

Whatever the complete picture, for now we don't need two articles. Both can be described in one. Since the most visible organisation is the Consortium, I'd say let's keep this title. -DePiep (talk) 19:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One can write what s(he) likes, but it is good idea to check before using their webpage as the reference prior to advertise. The bottom of this is what is Unicode, Inc and it is the owner of that page. Since it is a private company, its president is the same person from day one - does not happen in any international Institute. Though we know some governments have same presidents until they were forced out or killed such as Taliban President of Afghanistan who was forced out. The President of Iraq who was executed. It does not look like Unicode Inc qualifies to international Institute or Consortium. This is private Company. Kurmaa (talk) 19:49, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then why not write that paragraph? The existance of the "Inc." and the "Consortium" (what is?) is describable. -DePiep (talk) 00:07, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The "Inc." actually just means that the Unicode Consortium was "Incorporated" under California law. If you actually take a look at the organization and its structure, it does not have shareholders, either private or public, and its board of directors are elected by its full institutional members. It is a non-profit consortium that anybody can join, and it is truly welcoming of anybody, dues-paying member or not, interested in furthering software internationalization, including me - just some guy, five years out of college, who wanted to have some obscure texts written in British Columbia a century ago available for research and study in the computing age.
