Background:
The US member body, Canada and some other member bodies have expressed their opinion at
the SC 2 - Crete meeting that for registering of sub-repertoires of ISO/IEC 10646 it should be
sufficient to use the collection identifier mechanism of 10646, and that the project proposal to
expand the scope of ISO 7350 be abandoned. This paper expands on this position.
At the Crete, SC 2 meeting in July 1997, the following resolutions were taken:
RESOLUTION M 07.22 (Disposition of Comments on CD 7350, Registration of
repertoires of graphic characters from ISO/IEC 10367)
SC 2 resolves to suspend this project on 7350 Revision (see Resolution M07.28).
UNANIMOUS
RESOLUTION M 07.28 (Collection Identifiers for 10646 subsets/sub-repertoire)
With reference to WG 2 Resolution M33.31 in document N 2927, and WG 3 Resolution
M12.11 in document N 2933, SC 2 instructs WG 2, in corporation with WG 3 to prepare a
proposal to cover the requirements for Collection Identifiers for 10646 subsets and report to
the next SC 2 Plenary. SC 2 further invites National Bodies and Liaison Organizations to
communicate their needs to WG 2. SC 2 invites US and Canadian National Bodies to assist
WG 2 in this effort.
