1. ACTIONS FOR UTC

Action: Vote to add 0904 - Devanagari short letter "A".

Action: Vote to add 09BD - "Avagrah" for Bengali.

Action: Vote to make erratum for 0A33.  Add to errata; move the nukta to the other side of the glyph.  Should also be corrected in the next edition.

Action: Vote to add 0A01, 0A03 - Gurmukhi sign "adak bindi" and a visarga.

Action: Vote to add 0A8C - Gujarati vocalic L is suggested.  It is a well-understood letter and will be added to the list of proposed character additions.

Action: Vote to add 0AE1, 0AE2, 0AE3. These are suggested additions of Vocalic L, LL. UTC will add these to the list of proposed additions without further explanation, as they are well-understood letters.

Action: Vote to add 0AF1 - Gujarati Rupee sign; see the document.

Action: Vote to add 0B35 "va" to the list of proposed additions for Oriya.

Action: Vote to add 0CBC, 0CBD. The document requests Nukta and Avagraha to be added for Kannada.  These are well-understood additions


2. ACTIONS FOR EDITORIAL COMMITTEE

ACTION: Add comments for Sindhi, etc to the Devanagari block introduction as per page 17.

ACTION: Add Konkani specific remarks to the Devanagari block introduction, as illustrated on page 17.

ACTION: Ed committee.  The block introductions for Indic scripts should specify where users are to look for the DANDA and DOUBLE DANDA characters (in the Devanagari block).

ACTION: Ed committee - 094D.  A change in the character name is suggested.  UTC might want to make an annotation, since a name change is not possible.

ACTION: Ed committee - 0970.  The document suggests an annotation or explanation which is suitable.  Suggested action: add explanation.

ACTION: Ed committee: add Konkani specific remarks to the Devanagari block introduction, as illustrated on page 17.

ACTION: Ed committee: Page 17, 09F4, 09F5, 09F6.  Changes in namelist annotation will be added to the list of proposed additions.

ACTION: 09F4, 09F5, 09F6.  Changes in namelist annotation added to the list of proposed additions.

ACTION: the block introduction should point out that the sign called "Khanda" is encoded at U+262C and may be used in Gurmukhi text.

ACTION: 0B66. The shape/size of the representative glyph for the "zero" character should be changed.  The document gives some detail as to why it should be smaller than 0B20, avoiding confusion.  Suggested UTC action: amend the charts for this character.

ACTION: The document suggests removing the annotation under character 0B2C; probably because it also suggests the addition of an Oriya "va" character at 0B35.  Remove the annotation;

ACTION: 0664-0667.  Consider adding annotations for the variant digit shapes. If an annotation for Sindhi is added at 0664-0667, then the text should also mention Farsi and Urdu variations, as applicable. Likewise, similar text for Sindhi could be included at 06F4-06F7.
