Motion 103-M2 carries.

[103-C6] Consensus: As soon as the six lowercase characters (103-M2) are included, the UTC will adopt D1 of document L2/05-076 as a stability policy. The effect of this stability policy is that whenever we add uppercase characters in cased scripts, we need to add the corresponding lowercase characters.

[103-C18] Consensus: The UTC authorizes a proposed update to Unicode Technical Standard #18: Unicode Regular Expressions that addresses the new line handling issue raised in L2/05-121 by relaxing the requirement to match CRLF to the "." (dot) metacharacter in multi-line mode for level 1.

[103-C19] Consensus: The UTC has not seen pervasive problems with the representation of eyelash ra. Therefore, based on concerns for stability, the UTC re-affirms its position that eyelash ra is represented as indicated in Rule R5 in Section 9.1 Devanagari of The Unicode Standard 4.0. [L2/05-111]
