[arabic-vip] IDN VIP – Arabic Script Case Study Definitions Doc. 19Sep11

[Manal Ismail]

Dear All ..
 
Please find attached the Definitions Document .. I do apologize for the delay but I have been facing some technical difficulties in sending this version through ..
 
Except for the brand new definitions, all resources are referenced as footnotes for definitions that were either copied or modified from sources such as Unicode, RFCs or the Draft Definitions Document circulated by ICANN ..
 
I do apologize for a bunch of new definitions that were not discussed during our f-2-f meeting, but those are necessary and were kindly suggested by Sarmad later as a replacement to the Language Table definition ..
 
There are also a few more definitions such as glyph, font, writing style, .... etc that Sarmad suggested we add to our document in order to have a complete set of all the definitions we need whether they are already defined or not .. Due to my lack of experience, I have not found clear definitions to some of of those terms though and would appreciate your feedback whether those are accurately definied ..
 
I also believe that definitions such as blocked, reserved, .....etc may have broader meanings if will be used by other scripts as well but I believe this will come up later when we start the merging phase ..
 
Finally I would highly appreciate, to the extent possible, sending your comments in track changes to the attached version of the document to facilitate merging all the updates .. I believe this document is due by next Thurs., Sarmad or Baher may be able to confirm this, so I would appreciate your kind cooperation in getting this document out on due date ..
 
Kind Regards
