Dear Prof. Zhang and CGP members

I have proposed to CDNC chair that we set up a session in CDNC & CGP joint meeting in Shanghai, 30^th,

discussing the inclusion & exclusion of LIdu and Radicals/Strokes.

Before we reached a final agreement on that, I listed Prof. Zhang’s suggestions in the current principles as the attached file.

With this file, Kenny and I will interact with IP, KGP and JGP.

Does it work  for everyone?

Dear all,

It seems to me that the CGP repertoire is expanding, even no one suggests to remove something from the MSR-1.

Actually, the content of the MSR-1, Han Repertoire really need being carefully reviewed  , in my view, at least the following issues be discussed:

1. The obsolete Korean LIdu have proved no longer used, They should be removed from the CGP repertoire.  Such as 乤、乥、兯、兺, about 80 characters  in CDNC

2. The Han Radicals /Strokes that are not regarded as independent Hanzi, （不成字的部首或笔画）should not be  included in CGP Repertoire. such as丬、丿、乚、乛.

3. Concerning a few CJK B characters, I think we need to carefully check:

a) If they really probably be used in TOP level domain name ?

b) What’s their usage frequency if available ?

c) Is there really any application needing such characters as domain name ?

d) From technical side, CJK B causes data type major change , registrars should evaluate the  impact (to variant complexity and font support problem ) and is it worth to make such change in the near future.

Regards,

Zhang
