[ChineseGP] Summary of Singapore meeting and Greetings for lunar new year

[Jonathan Shea]

Dear Wei,

Thank you for the hard work which leads to this important breakthrough. It is never easy when help from other countries are needed.

I would also take this opportunity to wish you and all CGP members a very Happy and Prosperous Lunar Year of the Goat.

Regards,
Jonathan Shea

Subject: [ChineseGP] Summary of Singapore meeting and Greetings for lunar new year

Dear All

         In Singapore meeting, CGP had a tough, torturing and constructive communication with J and K.
         With the help and support from IP, we made a consensus that three of us work independently on each party’s repertoire and variant table (if any) as soon as we can, then work together on a UNIFIED variant table.

         It is encouraging that K confirmed that they will include Chinese code points in their repertoire and is trying to make the first version.
         It is even inspiring J already made candidate variants, and drafted a Chinese Japanese comparison table ( as the attached file)

         For the next 4 months before the next ICANN meeting, CGP need to work on the following issues:
         1,  revise the work plan in the proposal to keep pace with J and K
         2,  redefine the definition of variant within one language context and across three language contexts.
         3,  make necessary cut to the current repertoire to reduce the complexity of coordination (100% percent agreement is not needed, IP will take over those irreconcilable conflicts)

         All above needs close cooperation with J and K, and needs help and support from ICANN.
         I also applied for an extra independent Adobe Account from ICANN, which works only for CJK.

         Finally, I wish everyone a very happy lunar new year!

         新加坡会议期间，CGP和日本、韩国代表进行了艰难、痛苦及有建设性的交流。
         最终，在IP的帮助下，我们三方达成共识，即：先各自制定独立的字汇和变体字表（如果有的话），然后合作制定统一变体字表。

         好消息是，韩国方面给出正面回应，他们将使用汉字，也开始着手制定第一版字汇。
         更加令人兴奋的是，日本方面制定了他们的变体字草案，并且进行了中文汉字-日文汉字的对比，进展还是比较快的。（见附件）

         在下一次ICANN会议前，CGP还有以下工作要完成。

1、  修改目前proposal中work plan部分，原计划要延迟，与日、韩同步

2、  对单语言、跨语言的variant定义进行重新定义或梳理（有助于三方形成一致共识）

3、  三方共同制定统一变体表示，CGP对当前字汇进行必要的删减，以降低困难和复杂度。（也不必一定要形成百分百共识，部分无法妥协的字符，交由IP裁决）


我也向icann申请了单独的adobe connect账号，日后三方沟通更方面。

         顺祝大家羊年大吉，一切工作顺顺利利。

Regards
Wang Wei
