[ChineseGP] FW: fortnightly meeting on 23rd Oct, Thursday

[Dillon, Chris]

Dear colleagues,

I have some comments about the questions about variant mappings document. I¡¯m sorry if some of them were addressed during the meeting.


¡¤         I¡¯m guessing we may need a new definition of variant, as°l f¨¡ ¡°send¡± andóŒ f¨¤ (Taiwanese Mandarin pronunciation f¨£ ¡°hair¡±) both TC variants of SC ·¢, for example, do not have ¡°the same pronunciations and the same meanings¡± in all of the languages.


¡¤         I reckon that code points only have ¡°independent¡± status/type in the Japanese table, but that labels should be generated using the merged LGR rules, not local table rules.


¡¤         In Japanese, ¹ú and ‡ø cannot be exchanged in most cases. However, there may be certain names e.g. ¼oÒÁ‡øÎÝ/¼oÒÁ¹úÎÝ where either form is common. The company seems to prefer the former; people write the latter. I would be interested to know what people do when word-processing. My software suggests the new form first, but then the old form. I wonder what percentage of people type which form. Personally, I would always type the form the company or person concerned preferred, if possible. There is a lot in a name.

Regards,

Chris.

Subject: [ChineseGP] fortnightly meeting on 23rd Oct, Thursday

Dear all

         It¡¯s been couple of weeks since the last fortnightly meeting.

         Tomorrow, I¡¯d like to share my slides for CDN variant workshop in ICANN 51

         And also, I drafted a document to illustrate C, J and K¡¯s understanding about the coordination principles. It seems there are still different views between us and some IP members.
         I will send the document to IP for their formal feedback after we discuss and reach a consensus.

         Meeting time: 3PM (Beijing time, UTC+8)


Regards
Wang Wei
