Subject:  UTC #68 - action reminders & call for agenda items

Unicode Technical Committee -- March Meeting

UTC Meeting #68 will be held on Friday, March 8, 1996, at Room 120, 1510
Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, CA.  The meeting is hosted by IBM Corporation.

Note that this meeting is *not* a joint meeting with X3L2.  (The next joint
meeting will be June 6-7.)


Action Items due at UTC #68
---------------------------
These Action Items from UTC #67 all have UTC #68 as their deadline, so will
be included in the agenda.  They are arranged by the name of the person
responsible for completion.

Reports may be sent in advance to the "unicore" distribution list (please
include the fact that your report is fulfillment of an action item from UTC
#67).

ALL PARTICIPANTS
Consider the issue of ISO 10646 repertoire cut-off: whether it is better
to keep in synch in physicality, or for one standard to always be
up-to-date.  Prepare arguments and rebuttals.

ALIPRAND
Report on the African Symbols in WG2 N1143.

BECKER
Project Editor (Becker) to supply status report on Mongolian script to
Unicode Liaison to WG2 (Freytag) by March for Copenhagen meeting.

GRIFFEE
Proposed Co-location of UTC/X3L2 and X3V1 Meetings
Find out the logistical support requirements for X3V1 and provide this
information to Aliprand and Gilbert.

Check on whether V1 would be willing to have a joint meeting.  Also verify
that NCR (formerly AT&T GIS) has the facilities available.

HART (with McGowan)
Braille:
Take this topic and give Freytag further information, especially regarding
the 1990 proposal so that he has something else to follow through on,
rather than the incomplete set of information that has been given so far.

JENKINS
Jenkins and other attendees at the IRG meeting would report back to the
UTC, in preparation for the WG2 meeting in April.

MCGOWAN
Report on Byzantine music notation at the March UTC.

Braille:
See HART above.

SARGENT
Object Replacement Character:
Sargent is to produce a formal proposal (with the UTC's feedback
incorporated from UTC 67) and submit it to McGowan so that we can submit it
to WG2 as a formal document.  Whistler proposed that the character:
* Should be placed under Special Characters (as per Freytag).
* Should be placed at FFFC and named as Object Replacement Character.
* Symbol should also be a dashed square with "OBJ" inside.

SUIGNARD
Precomposed Characters for Pinyin (Defect Report):
Write a proposal on the precomposed characters needed for pinyin.  Submit
it to the UTC for the March meeting.  He is also to verify the existence of
these characters.


Call for Additional Agenda Items
--------------------------------
Please submit agenda items as soon as possible.  Post to the "unicore"
distribution list (unicore@unicode.org).

If supporting documentation is to be photocopied, please send it to Steve
Greenfield at the Unicode Office by March 1.  Otherwise, please bring at
least 25 copies with you.
