Dear Nebiye, I am not willing to do anything what does not have the expected outcome at the end. It is necessary to be clear to me and every other member of the group what is the purpose of the task “determining across 180 languages what representations of E exist” I need to understand what are you proposing to do with the data gotten as result from the quoted task. Does your vision lead to fulfillment of our task which is: a.

So what would you do next?

Suppose we start working as you proposed, what we shall have at the end of the whole process which will last few months. We shall have a table in which will be all 180 languages with all letters from these languages without any connection to MSR2<https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2-2015-04-27-en> . How this table can help us to finish our job? MSR2 was produced by Integration Panel. The purpose of our panel is to check weather all characters used by Latin languages are included in MSR2 and find also which characters from MSR2 should be excluded because those characters are not in everyday use. In our Proposal we promised that we shall do this as it was described in our Work Plan. We also decided to process 180 languages in the first round.

If not found we still do not know if it should be included or not. 2. We have to return to all languages for characters that we have not found elsewhere. 3. We have to investigate all characters in every language anyway to make to see if it has any combination of base character and combining mark. For every character (or combination) that we want to include we should find evidence that it is used according to the principles. To have a firm ground we should not just register for one language, but for several, in case some language is excluded at a later stage or that evidence is found to be invalid.
