Tomorrow's teleconference
by Dillon, Chris Feb. 29, 2016

Feb. 29, 2016

Dear colleagues, I have been working on finding code points in ScriptSource.org (only two found!) and in Alphabets de langues africaines (again, slow work). There have only been minor edits to the panel formation proposal since v.5 circulated on 16 Feb. Lack of human resources is an issue for us, but recently Meikal gave me a list of people he thought may be willing to help and I am in the process of contacting them. Therefore, if you would be happy to OK the agenda (see below) for the face-to-face meeting in Marrakech on Sunday 6 March at UTC 17:00, I would like to suggest that we cancel tomorrow's meeting. 1. Attendance 2. Presentation (for newcomers) 3. Panel formation proposal 4. Latin repertoire a. Volunteers b. Advisors 5. How best to deal with Cyrillic and Greek cross-script variants 6. Any other business 7. Date of next meeting Français: Il n'y a pas assez de travail pour notre téléconférence demain. Est-ce que vous avez de choses que vour aimeriez ajouter au programme dessus pour Marrakech?

I shall put it in the wiki with an agenda for our next meeting (March 1 at UTC 17:00) by early next week. It should include all edits we agreed during our last meeting.

Presentation and up-coming meetings
by Dillon, Chris Feb. 15, 2016

Feb. 15, 2016

Dear colleagues, The deadline for our presentation in Marrakech is coming up soon, so the attached version is a last opportunity to improve it. (The only change from our last meeting is the layout of the membership slide.) Please send any edits by UTC 23:59 on Friday 19. We actually have two meetings scheduled before then - 23 Feb. and 1 March. I think we only need one, so I would like to suggest that we cancel 23 Feb. Français: Voici une dernière opportunité (vendredi 19ème à 23:59 heures UTC) pour amender la LGP presentation pour Marrakech. J'aimerais suggérer qu'il n'y ait qu'une seule téléconférence avant Marrakech - celle du 1ère mars.

Dear colleagues, The notes and sound from yesterday's meeting are now online: https://community.icann.org/display/croscomlgrprocedure/9+February+2016 Sound recording<https://community.icann.org/download/attachments/58721115/LGP-9Feb2016.mp3?…> 1.

Chris Dillon, Hazem Hezzah, Meikal Mumin, Alireza Saleh, Aysegul Tekce and Mirjana Tasić 2. Criteria for inclusion and exclusion in the repertoire, including number of speakers, need further work. Text was added to make clear that currently code points used solely for Romanization are to be excluded. It was noticed that x circumflex has no precomposed form in Unicode. Its only attestation so far is in the EGIDS 7 language, Aleut, and so provisionally it is not to be included in the repertoire. 3. There were no substantial edits. 4. Chris mentioned that ICANN's summer meeting would not take place in Panama. 5. 23 February, 2016 Regards, Chris. -- Research Associate in Linguistic Computing, Centre for Digital Humanities, UCL, Gower St, London WC1E 6BT Tel +44 20 7679 1599 (int 31599) www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/people/chrisdillon<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/people/chrisdillon>

Latest version (4) of the panel formation proposal
by Dillon, Chris Feb. 10, 2016

Feb. 10, 2016

Dear colleagues, Please find attached the latest version (4) of the panel formation proposal, a little later than promised. I have attempted to address most of the issues raised during the last meeting, added some mini CVs (thank you) and have filled many of the larger gaps in the text. I used Track Changes in Word so you can see what has changed. An innovation is a traffic light system I have introduced. The aim of it is to give an easily understandable breakdown on how close we are to being able to form a panel: Green: ready Amber: partially ready (in some cases, e.g. coverage, this is unlikely to change unless our numbers increase more dramatically than is realistic) Red: not ready Français: Voici une nouvelle version du document pour créer officiellement notre groupe. Les changes sont ce qu'on a décidé dans notre dernière téléconférence et il y a aussi un système pour nous dire l'état de préparation: vert: ça marche; jaune: ça marche jusqu'à un certain point; rouge: ça ne marche pas. == The meeting is at UTC 17:00.
