ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 N1952
This standing document has not been updated since 1997-01-24. In the intervening two years, a great deal of progress (and some 450 documents) has been made. Consolidation of various individual proposals into single PDAMs is hard to track; accordingly, the treatment of symbol and individual character additions has been less rigorously charted here, at least in the "related documents" column. I have tried to be comprehensive where entire scripts are concerned. In the case of CJK repertoires and the smaller ideographic component repertoires, however, it has been difficult to track everything. This was also the case in the base document N1509 S, where numerous CJK proposals which were possibly duplicates or descendents of earlier proposals were presented. It would be very helpful if the IRG could help by identifying completed items and documents related to various other IRG items.
In this document I have made no attempt to update the "stages" column, considering this to be a matter for explicit WG2 decisions (and because I am not sure what all the numbers mean).
The "number of users" column presents what data there is in the proposals. It is hard to put a population figure when the user community is "scholars and churchmen". (I don't consider this column to be particularly important, as quality is as good as quantity in the UCS.)
I am particularly uncertain what to do with the proposals prior to N1000. Have these, or some of these, been closed by WG2, pending new proposals with the Proposal Summary form?
