Hello, Chirs Thank you. Your edit make the principles clear and comprehensive. But for 'SUM', I think CGP Script is not a summary of CJK and MSR. There is a picture for CJK & MSR & CGP & CDNC Script(CGP Script) [Principle-1, Principle-3]. The CGP script as showed in orange colour, is just a part from MSR-1-Han. CDNC script is its origin. 1. CDNC Script does not include Hanzi from CJK exts-B; 2. CDNC Script does not include some Hanzi code points from other registry scripts as JP, DotAsia[Principle-6]. And here is also some points in CDNC script that maybe conflict with other registry as Kr or JP [Principle-5]. So 'SUM' maybe confuse the relation of MSR-1 and CJK(exts-A, exts-B). May CGP script cover points beyond MSR-1-han? And if true, it is a hard work to handle thousands of CJK Hanzi, case by case, for CGP members.

Dear Chris, We (HKIRC, registry for the .HK ccTLD and .香港 IDN ccTLD) has submitted a comment to ICANN requesting their consideration to add 2,677 HKSCS (Hong Kong Supplemental Character Set) characters to MSR-1. HKSCS contains Chinese characters that are used in Hong Kong but may not be used in other Chinese-speaking communities. http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-msr-03mar14/msg00002.html. As these HKSCS characters are not in the CDNC variant table, HKIRC is in the process of applying to CDNC to add these characters to the CDNC table batch by batch, the first batch containing 21 characters and is being processed. Adding HKSCS characters to MSR-1 is for administrative convenience mainly – otherwise when CDNC approves the addition of some HKSCS characters to the CDNC table in the future, these characters cannot be added to the CGP table because MSR-1 does not contain them. Also, we are not sure at this stage whether the IP will produce new versions of MSR such as MSR-2. As MSR-1 is a superset and CGP is not obliged to consider all characters in the MSR, our comment to add HKSCS characters into MSR-1 should not have any impact on the 7 proposed principles listed by Wang Wei. Also. I have already communicated with the CDNC co-chairs, council members and secretariat before submitting the comment to ICANN.

Dear Wang Wei, +1 Incidentally, it is interesting to see Yoshiro Yoneya’s post (http://forum.icann.org/lists/comments-msr-03mar14/msg00000.html ) which ends in a list of kanji not in MSR-1.
