[94-C1] Consensus: Approval of UTC #93 minutes with C33 modified. Item 93-C33 needs to be updated to read: 2 deprecated, 4 discouraged.
Minutes posted publicly at www.unicode.org/unicode/consortium/utc-minutes.html
[94-C2] Consensus: Approve the minutes of UTC #93 as modified with C33.
[94-M1] Motion: When a sequence of default grapheme clusters are linked by a combining grapheme joiner, the enclosing mark may be rendered as enclosing the entire sequence. Make it clear that the target of the enclosing mark is the preceding grapheme cluster or sequence of default grapheme clusters linked by grapheme joiner. Make it clear that the intent of the usage of these characters is on free-standing default grapheme clusters or grapheme clusters linked by grapheme joiner. Clarify this in section 7.7 of TUS 4.0. Make it clear that the rendering of enclosing marks in complex cases should have many caveats.

2 abstain (Justsystem, Oracle)[94-C3] Consensus: Change the name of "ID Start Exceptions" to "Other ID Start".

[94-C5] Consensus: Accept linebreak classification changes as proposed in L2/03-071 sections 1, 3.3, 3.5, 3.7, and 5. And change the class of U+2044 to IS from NS. [[ insert list of affected chars here]]
[94-M2] Motion: Create a new linebreaking class of NL for 0085. Moved by Asmus Freytag, 2nd Uma (IBM). For 10; against 1 (HP); abstain 1 (Justsystem).
[94-M3] Motion: Do the recommendation in section 4.3 of TUS to create the class WJ that contains U+2060 and FEFF, and to relax the rules for GL to allow the SP linebreak class as well as ZW class to override the non-breaking nature of GL.

[94-C9] Consensus: Accept two symbols (Guarani sign and Austral sign) for encoding at suggested codepoints 20B3 and 20B4 with glyphs as shown in document L2/03-095 for encoding in a future version of Unicode. Document G-slash and G-vertical-line as alternate glyphs for Guarani via annotation in names list or documentation in the standard.
[94-C10] Consensus: Remove decimal digit field value (field 6) from superscripts and subscripts for TUS 4.0.

2. Math digits: Give general category of "No" and delete the value of field 6.
3. Editorial action: Make U+2044 capture "Nd"s.
4. Decimal digit is equivalent to decimal number type as an invariant.
[94-C11] Consensus: Modify the derivation of the default ignorable codepoints to be consistent with the derivation of similar properties in PropList.txt. Refer to document number L2/03-103 for details.
[94-M5] Motion: Approve the change of Sharp-s collation weight from having a secondary difference to a tertiary difference from "ss" in UCA 4.0 and work to make the same change in ISO 14651 and to convey the implications of this to the editor of the European ordering rules (Marc Kuester).

[94-C20] Consensus: Update UTR #18 based on document L2/03-107 and make a draft proposed unicode technical standard (UTS #18) and request review in the status section. Remove "deprecated" property from the list in 2A of L2/03-107.

5 abstain (IBM, Adobe, Basis, Sybase, Justsystem).[94-M9] Motion: CD 15897 continues to fail at satisfying key requirements for a usable standard; UTC does not see the process as condusive to having these deficiencies fixed; UTC doesn't see that the deficiencies will be accommodated; and therefore UTC discourages its use.

7 abstain (IBM, Adobe, Oracle, India, Sybase, Justsystem, RLG)[94-C23] Consensus: Add to the text of the standard that the way of encoding Bengali ya-phalaa needs further investigation. Alternative approaches to the encoding will be investigated for future versions of TUS. Add this caution to the FAQ.

[94-C26] Consensus: The UTC is considering how to add additional characters to accommodate the Nuskuri alphabet. UTC will need to gather more information on character properties such as sorting order, cursive shaping behavior, and ligatures.
