[95-C3] Consensus: Implement a clean-up of PropertyAliases.txt as given in document L2/03-144 in the next appropriate version of the standard.

[95-C4] Consensus: Issue Proposed Update Unicode Standard Annex #29: Text Boundaries to 1) add the new informative property Sentence_Terminal (short name STerm) in PropList.txt with the contents as given in document L2/03-145 and modified by discussion, and 2) modify the definition of the "Term" property in Unicode Standard Annex #29: Text Boundaries to reflect point "2" of L2/03-145, and updates discussed during the meeting.

[95-C5] Consensus: Remove the last two lines of the Bengali example in Section 9.2 of the Unicode Standard 4.0 (page 235). Post a Public Review Issue which describes the two approaches (shown in L2/03-192), closing August 18, 2003. The final decision is to be taken at the August UTC.

[95-C6] Consensus: Align the math property with the list of strongly mathematical characters as specified by the criteria in 3.1.1 of document L2/03-165. Remove the first table from the Other_math property. Add the second table to the Other_math property. The full-width tilde will be struck from the list. The general category is not touched.

[95-C7] Consensus: Advance Draft Unicode Technical Report #25: Unicode Support for Mathematics to Unicode Technical Report #25: Unicode Support for Mathematics with the following changes: align the descriptions in section 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 with the revisions of the Other_math property such that the weak math property (Other_math) does not contain any characters that have the math property, and with additional text modifications raised during discussion, including responding to comments raised in document L2/03-182. [L2/03-165]

[95-C8] Consensus: There should not be an extensive table change to 14651 to handle Thai and Lao, rather, the UTC suggests that those interested in approaches to collating Thai and Lao add example methodologies to appendix C2 of 14651. [L2/03-185]
