[ChineseGP] Memo of CGP Fortnightly Meeting 7th August

[Zhiwei Yan]

Dear all,
The issue proposed by Chris is the key point of understanding difference between CGP and JGP (about variants). 
I asked some Japanese friends and their explanation is:

"国" can be used in any situations.
"國" is a traditional and old character and not used usually.
However, Japanese people sometimes use "國" in old name such as shrine, traditional crafts, companies which were founded many years ago.
Therefore, "国" can be used instead of "國", but "國" can be used only in special cases.

That means the SC and TC are not "variants" in Japanese.
For your reference.
BR,
Zhiwei

Dear Wang Wei,
 
Thank you for your email. I'm sorry I couldn't make last week's meeting. I hope to make the one on Aug. 21.
 
2) I'm not sure we can think much about coordination before the JGP and KGP have drafts of the code points they intend to submit. I am interested to see how something like .紀伊國屋 (the name of a famous Japanese bookshop; see www.kinokuniya.co.jp ) would be handled, as 國 and 国 would be regarded as variants by the CGP and LGR, but not I think by the JGP.
 
3) Please send further information about the KGP's meetings (if they are virtual).
 
Regards,
 
Chris.

Dear Hanchuan and Colleagues
 
                Thank you for attending the meeting.
                Here are some tasks we need to do before the next fortnightly meeting:
                
                1)  Improve the proposal, specify the language, repertoire and etc. (I will send out a updated document next week)
                2)  Provide some coordination examples on variants mapping to Japan and Korea community, to help all have a better understanding of coordination principles.
                3)            Select Kenny and other representatives to KGP meeting next Tuesday
 
                Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I forget to mention.
 
Regards
Wang Wei
