Discussion

1. Goes here

  1. Jothan will send a revised SOI detailing his new job
  2. Francisco introduced the issues outline document he provided earlier in the week and Jothan proposed that the work Cary and others have done should be incorporated into the outline issues document as that should help meet the deadline and harmonise with the work being done by the other teams. It is also proposed as a good format for helping people understand why the conclusions have been reached. Cary agreed to this in principle but wants to document also provided as-is as well so that glyphs are not corrupted due to font issues.
  3. There was a discussion of which tables to include in the document. Cary proposed a descriptive collation of code points based on what is actually used rather than a proscriptive code point listings. The discussion also covered whether some ligatures were potentially visuually confusing and Cary noted that the similarity is not an issue for users of those characters as they don't use similar characters in a single language. The confusion is limited to people who don't use those characters in their language. Jothan wanted to take account of user experience outside those groups as well as within them but this can be mitigated by not mixing scripts in DNS labels. Harald pointed out that two strings can be confusable without being variants of each other.
  4. Cary provided a reference for orthographic diacritics and asked Leo to have Nicholas comment on how the reference is regarded in the professional orthographic community.
  5. Jothan proposed having Cary's document integrated in to the structure document in two week's time, with a review from 15-30 September with the final version being provided on 30 September, noting that Cary is not available between 20-29 September.
  6. Jothan proposed an overlap call with the Cyrillic team but will send it out as a suggestion to the list as there were so few participants on the call.
