Review period for the new item closes on October 24, 2011.

Please see the page for links to discussion and relevant documents.
Briefly, the new issue is:

PRI #207, Proposed Draft UTR #50, Unicode Properties for Vertical Text
Layout

The layout of Japanese text follows different conventions than the
layout of Western texts. Many of the requirements are described in the
W3C Working Group Note “Requirements for Japanese Text Layout”. This new
proposed draft technical report describes two Unicode character
properties which can be used to implement those requirements.

This is a moderated Public Review Issue. An unmoderated discussion takes
place on the designated forum:
http://www.unicode.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=35
The moderator of this PRI will summarize the discussion and provide it
as formal feedback to the Unicode Technical Committee. Towards the end
of the PRI, formal feedback will also be accepted from other parties, if
they feel that the summary does not reflect accurately their concerns.
