<Najib> Hi

<Najib> making the call

<r12a> in-country standards orgs need to decide which numerals they use

<r12a> libraries should not inherit, eg. if Sudan is under Egypt Sudan can overwrite Egypt, but if no-one is contributing data or modifiable, there's a problem - so the hierarchy may not be good for numbers used

<r12a> typographers should consider places where ascii numerals should be used so we need to give them more control over number sizing, kerning, spacing, etc

<r12a> Behnam, with modern type design there is no matching of aesthetics for ascii numbers and arabic text

ASMO 708 was one of the first spec talking about encoding of Arabic-Indic numerals, and encoding both Arabic-Indic and ASCII numerals in one set of code-points.

Timeline for FPWD release

<Shervin> Shervin: Three logistical topic; 1. change the meetings to biweekly and have them happen regardless of PR available or agenda item; 2. we might need to focus on filling the gaps of the document; e.g. people could commit to provide text for specific sections;

<Shervin> ... 3. we don't have to send calls for agenda out; rarely receive response.

<Shervin> These items for discussion.
