[Latingp] Notes from Dec. 8th's meeting

[Dillon, Chris]

Dear colleagues,

I've posted the notes from Dec. 8th's meeting to the wiki: https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/8+December+2015
See also below.

Apologies to Sarmad - he raised U+01C3 ( LATIN LETTER RETROFLEX CLICK) in the Chat window, and I managed to miss it. I shall add it to the table.
It is excuded from MSR2:
* punctuation
* limited or declining use (educational)

It seems that LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS I has IDNA version issues similar to ß (discussed in the meeting). I shall add a note.

Mirjana has pointed out:
- LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH ACUTE is used in the Romanization of Macedonian.
- The Bugis language uses LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA. I'll add a note about it.

Let me know if you can't make the meeting on Jan. 5th at 17:00 UTC and would prefer it to be on Jan. 12th.
We will be looking at the Draft Panel Formation Proposal [https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/Draft+Panel+Formation+Proposal], especially the schedule, the list of languages and any other parts which are near completion.

Regards,

Chris.

Meeting notes

1. Chris Dillon, Hazem Hezzah, Sarmad Hussain, Meikal Mumin, Mert Saka, Mirjana Tasic

2. We were able to finish our first look at the Latin part of MSR2.
Chris will circulate version 6 in the near future with African edits from Meikal and Turkish edits from Mert.

Also: Notes on Laz, Wakhi and ß.
"The original IDNA 2003 protocol didn't support several characters properly and one of those was "ß".  It was interpreted as mere 'ss'. So "faß.de" domain (for example) was
processed as "fass.de", ignoring the national character.

A reference for the Alphabet National du Tchad will be added. This will affect several code points in the table.
Does anybody have similar references* for the Pan-Nigerian Alphabet or the African Reference Alphabet? I shall add notes on these.
* i.e., "detailed references that link each included code point to a reference providing data for justifying its inclusion"

I shall add something about the status of Romanizations, especially "educational use" and the use of n and m with tone marks in Pinyin. Also something about how many people
constitute a "large community" (i.e., "in widespread modern customary use by large communities").

Vowels with breves may be used in Vietnamese languages.

I shall add a note on LATIN SMALL LETTER ALPHA and LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA, which could be candidates for in-script variants with LATIN SMALL LETTER A and LATIN SMALL LETTER
TURNED E, respectively.

3. Chris has made good progress on the schedule part of the Draft Panel Formation Proposal and will release it within the next few days.

4. If you would like to ask questions or make comments in French, please use the Chat window. Chris will provide summaries of meetings.

5. It may be necessary to move the next meeting from 5 Jan. to 12 Jan. Chris is not able to chair the meeting on 19 Jan.
