<p><span lang="EN-IN">Prof. Udaya, Akshat, Sarmad and I had a call yesterday to discuss how to move forward with the Neo-Brahmi GP work.&nbsp; Noting that an initial draft of the Devanagari script LGR has recently been circulated by Akshat for review of the panel
 members and as a guide of what also needs to be done for other scripts, we all agreed that it is a good time to initiate group based work.&nbsp; We would like to start fortnightly meetings online which will allow all of us to engage directly to plan and undertake
 the work. &nbsp;May I request you to please look at the document sent by Akshat on 23rd March (attaching again for ready reference) and send your inputs on this mailing list.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">As we start our online calls, we have also discussed to organize a face to face meeting of the members in Kathmandu in late May.&nbsp; The face to face meeting will allow us to make more progress. We have lots of technical and policy issues
 to be taken care in due course of time.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-IN">ICANN organization will support the organization of our online calls and the face to face meeting.&nbsp; They will follow up to set a time for our online meetings and to finalize the dates for the face to face meeting. &nbsp;I will be also starting
 the whatsapp group for more easy sharing of information and &quot;just in time&quot; notifications for meeting and calls. No information/discussion other than NBGP will be done on this group.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
