I'm glad all this has now been somewhat clarified. I was initially a
little concerned by the statement "you need to write up a proposal,
attach the Summary Proposal Form, and submit it to the UTC for
consideration (and later also WG2)" which seemed to imply that all
proposals should go first to the UTC.
Like Andrew I also feel that, with proposals for new scripts, experts on
a particular script are more likely to attend WG2 meetings - as part of
a national body or as invited experts - than they are to attend UTC
meetings. Also I personally think it best when proposals and documents
are publicly available, as they are when submitted to WG2 as this seems
more open.
Since ISO 10646 does not deal with Character Properties the way TUS
does, I also agree that UTC seems to be the place for that part.
