Notes from our meeting today 21 September 2017

Latin/Cyrillic Variant Analysis Methodology:

• There are 84 code points in the Cyrillic LGR proposal. Fourteen (plus one) were identified by the Cyrillic Panel as having a variant in the Latin script.
• The variant team will conduct a visual inspection of these 84 code points to determine whether there is a potential variant candidate within the Latin script. We will start with MSR-2 and will adjust when the Latin repertoire is finalized.
• A Cyrillic code point will pass through two inspections by two different people.
  • The first inspection will result in three different outcomes: Latin code point [is variant/is not a variant/may or may not be a variant] of Cyrillic code point.
  • The second inspection will confirm the first result or challenge it (i.e. a challenge is when the results of the first and second inspection differ or either is undetermined).
  • At the end of the second inspection, all four members of the Variant group will analyze all challenges and resolve the contention.
• First inspection assignments (due by Friday, September 29)

  • Line 44 – 57: Dennis
