Well, about consistency. That was the approach that was suggested at the beginning (i.e. decide by diacritic group instead of individual ratings). The idea did not have support. Instead, it was argued that diacritics are not rendered consistently across letters and therefore they needed to be tested individually. That was what the majority supported and the reason we did the spreadsheet. The inconsistency in ratings is due in part of the differences in how fonts are rendered in different systems (by system I mean the combination of OS, display, resolution, application, font type, etc.). On top of this, people's perception also play a roll, which renders any conclusion as subjective. -Dennis On 9/5/19, 8:50 AM, "Latingp on behalf of Michael Bauland" <latingp-bounces@icann.org on behalf of Michael.Bauland@knipp.de> wrote: Hi Bill, On 04.09.2019 23:42, Bill Jouris wrote: > Dear colleagues, > > As requested, I have updated the Proposal (Section 6.7.1) with our > decisions for Variants Due To Underlining. thanks for your work. > I would like to note one small inconsistency in our results.

And in case there is a good reason that requires us to be "inconsistent" we at least have to argue and comment why we handle those seemingly equivalent cases differently. As mentioned last week, I will be in a car driving to a customer during our call and I don't like driving and using the phone (even with a hands-free kit) at the same time. So I won't be able to join. Therefore my vote (in case you need it in this call) for this case: Looking at our original documents my opinion is to not considering base characters and characters with cedilla below as variants.
