He is also a Unicode representative (as a United States liaison body) at the Ideographic Rapporteur Group, a subgroup of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2 working group WG2 specializing in Han unification efforts.
In September 2018, Lunde was awarded the Bulldog Award at Internationalization & Unicode Conference 42.
