[109-C8] Consensus: Keep data files related to Unicode Technical Standards in versioned directories separated for each technical standard underneath the "Public" directory on the Unicode website, allowing for an additional level for sub versions as needed. [L2/06-352]

[109-C9] Consensus: Unicode Technical Standards with data files will be revised at every repertoire change, but will only be revised for UCD updates when necessary. [L2/06-352]

[109-C10] Consensus: Add to the Unicode website a new Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in Unicode page with explanation and pointer to existing data. Unicode is pleased to host this project. [L2/06-379]

[109-C11] Consensus: Authorize a Proposed Update Unicode Standard Annex #15: Unicode Normalization Forms that defines a "normalization process for stable strings" (NPSS). Table 11 is not part of the process, but the use of Table 11 with some pre-4.1 implementations is defined as part of a "restricted NPSS". [L2/06-350]

[109-C13] Consensus: Make derived numeric values preserve canonical equivalence by adding property values where necessary. [L2/06-378]

[109-C16] Consensus: Give U+FA30..U+FA6A the ideographic property, and fix the wordbreak property. [L2/06-321]

[109-C17] Consensus: Add U+6F06 and U+9621 to the list of accounting numbers in the Unihan database. [L2/06-309R, L2/06-386]

[109-C18] Consensus: Add numeric values to 8 compatibility ideographs to match their canonical characters. [L2/06-309R]

[109-C19] Consensus: Issue a public review issue regarding use of ZWJ/ZWNJ in identifiers. [L2/06-353]

• The document An IDNA problem in right-to-left scripts identifies the problem correctly. However, we recommend an alternative solution of ignoring trailing combining marks when performing the exclusion. [L2/06-341]
• A field should not start with a combining mark. [L2/06-341]
• The UTC doesn't see a problem with decomposing U+05F0..U+05F2 in stringprep. [L2/06-333]
• The UTC disagrees with the statement in section 2.1.3 of the document Proposed Issues and Changes for IDNA - An Overview. The problem is that IDNA 2003 used an ad-hoc approach and should have been based on Unicode character properties. [L2/06-340]
• The UTC is in favor of the approach taken in section 2.1.4 of Proposed Issues and Changes for IDNA - An Overview in allowing Unicode 5.0 and future characters to be in IDNs. [L2/06-340]
• The UTC would like to see the protocol allow for the use of Unicode characters for future versions with as quick a turn-around as possible. This can be done by basing the protocol on backwards-compatible Unicode properties, such as the definition of Unicode identifiers.  The UTC reaffirms its willingness to add and maintain new properties for guaranteeing stability. [L2/06-340]
• The UTC disagrees with the approach in section 4 of Proposed Issues and Changes for IDNA - An Overview. To break backwards compatibility with the protocol there must be a compelling reason. Any such changes must be shown to solve a large majority of well-documented problems. [L2/06-340]
• Section 4 of the document is a major break with in backwards compatibility. A compelling case must be made, and this case has not been made. [L2/06-340]

[109-C21] Consensus: Include the following in the IETF liaison document:

• Call to the attention of the authors of The Unicode Codepoints and IDN that the Unicode Consortium already recommends a restriction of codepoints for the purpose of identifiers in Unicode Standard Annex #31: Identifier and Pattern Syntax, plus further additions and restrictions in Unicode Technical Standard #39: Unicode Security Mechanisms under [IMOD] and discussed in Section 3.1. [L2/06-342]

[109-C23] Consensus: Accept 4 orthographic and modifier letters for encoding in a future version of the standard. [L2/06-259R]

[109-C29] Consensus: Accept 4 Qur'anic Arabic characters for encoding in a future version of the standard. They should be classified as confusables for domain names. [L2/06-358]

[109-C30] Consensus: Accept solution 2a, to fix the glyphs for U+047C and U+047D and to provide annotations that U+047D is a misnomer for "beautiful omega".  [L2/06-357]

[109-C31] Consensus: Accept solution 3a without the addition of cyrillic capital letter OU (see page 5) for Cyrillic "uk". This amounts to a recommendation to add two monograph Uk characters. See consensus 109-C32. [L2/06-357]

[109-C32] Consensus: Accept in principle the encoding the first 2 columns of Cyrillic characters in L2/06-359 without change. The author should resubmit this proposal with the deletion of characters xx20 and xx22, and a new code position for xx25 (in an area with other non-spacing marks). Also remove xx27 and xx28 from the proposal before resubmitting.

[109-C33] Consensus: Accept 11 ancient Roman characters for encoding  in a future version of the standard.: [L2/06-269]
