Thanks, I’d seen that, but wasn’t sure when I got to the page :) (Hope I stuck the right stuff in the right boxes).

Hi Shawn,
RFC 2978 says the following on page 6:
"3.2. Charset Reviewer
When the two week period has passed and the registration proposer is
convinced that consensus has been achieved, the registration
application should be submitted to IANA and the charset reviewer.
The charset reviewer, who is appointed by the IETF Applications Area
Director(s), either approves the request for registration or rejects
it. Rejection may occur because of significant objections raised on
the list or objections raised externally. If the charset reviewer
considers the registration sufficiently important and controversial,
a last call for comments may be issued to the full IETF. The charset
reviewer may also recommend standards track processing (before or
after registration) when that appears appropriate and the level of
specification of the charset is adequate.
The charset reviewer must reach a decision and post it to the ietf-
charsets mailing list within two weeks. Decisions made by the
reviewer may be appealed to the IESG."
Send the IANA copy via the form at:
http://www.iana.org/protocols/apply/
(choose the last option "All other assignments")
The IANA Protocol Registries at:
http://www.iana.org/protocols/apply/
says that Ned Freed is primary expert and Martin Duerst is
secondary expert for the IANA Character Sets registry.
Cheers,

Windows-874 is in use by several groups, but it hasn't been registered yet, so I'd like to submit it for review: The form is similar to the 1252 request we discussed last year.

Yes, windows-874 is suitable for use with subtypes of the "text"
Content-Type. Note that windows-874 is an 8-bit charset. Care should
