Dear colleagues,

I agree with Michael's suggestion to remove EGIDS5 evidence, where there is other evidence. Where it is the only source for a code point we should provide specific evidence and sources for contemporary usage.

I also added numerous comments to the two documents - I would have done it on an online version preferably, but to avoid version conflicts I added comments to the word files. Several comments of mine contain suggested action items. On the whole, IP's review leaves me with the impression, that we have to work again on the repertoire. Particularly the additional evidence required for African languages will require quite a bit of work, and it is unclear to me why - as a general rule - IP seems to have higher demands towards the supporting evidence for African languages versus other languages.

Best,

Meikal

Hi all,

I am a bit confused by the choice of comments from the IP regarding EGIDS 5 languages:
* In some occasions (e.g., 0115, Bavarian (5)) they state that the languages should be removed from the refernce (sometimes with the result of eliminating the whole character)
* In some occasions (e.g., 015D, Tswa (5)) they require additional comments for those languages.
* In some occasions (e.g., 1E5B, Kabyle (5)) the languages are accepted without complaint from IP.

I guess, according to our statement "Languages with EGIDS 5 may be included in special cases where there is additional evidence that it is in widespread use" we should alter our table as follows:
* remove EGIDS 5 languages, if other at least two other references are available wiht higher score
* keep EGIDS 5 languages, if there is one or no other reference available
* add a comment to prove its widespread use for all remaining EGIDS 5 langauges

Cheers,

Michael
