Dear Latin GP

As discussed in the call on  17 Sep 2020. Please find the summary of the previous discussion on consistency regarding Grave and Hook Above as follow.

• IP feedback before the F2F meeting
  • In the latest feedback from the IP, the case of I with Grave and I with Hook Above are not specifically included as they are not marked as variant code points.
  • However, the IP commented on the above diacritics that “In particular, the effects of transitivity need to be considered, so as to avoid unwieldy variant sets or resulting transitive variants among diacritics that are, or should be, considered distinct.”

• During the F2F meeting in Jan 2020.

• The Grave and Hook above was discussed for the letter o e a u y.  ( the letter ‘ i ‘ was not included in the discussion set)
• By using 5 out of 7 voting mechanism, o e cases were not variant and a u y cases were variant.
• The GP discussed about the consistence and agreed to keep them as is.  
• letter “i” was not in the discussion set and the i case are not variant according to the votes.
