See they are going to bring a new change and they don't even have to say why such a change is required and whether all consequences are considered and weighed. The point I wanted to bring to this forum being that the standards bodies taking part in personal plans and doing things in secret without consulting the affected and even against the strong arguments against these from all participants in the discussion. There is a conspiracy and I would like to call for transparency in these debates. The public discussions happened in indic unicode mailing list can be read from http://www.unicode.org/~ecartis/indic/ username: unicode-ml password: unicode Why are the standards bodies taking a position opposite to the conclusions of the public debate? Can't we do anything about it? Could this consiracy be brought to light and justice? What can we do now so that the national standards bodies (CDAC I guess in this case) brings up a public debate and consider all the consequences of the change and act in the interests of the language than some persons interest. I would like to hear what you think. Even though it is a technical debate and you might not be aware of the arguments of both sides of the debate, I would like to hear your opinions on the way our national standards bodies function. Do we want it behind the curtains or do we want it in public? Why don't they give any logical reasons and analysis of the consequence before they propose such a change which will have profound impact on Malayalam Computing for the years to come? And it is more sad that they don't even have to give this justification !!! They want chillus encoded, doesn't matter whether we need it, doesn't matter it breaks the data we already have, doesn't matter it will bring chaos to our language. I am depply saddened by these developments. I don't have any objection to chillus getting encoded if it is the right thing to do, but this secrecy, conspiracy and dictator like functioning is what saddening me. Please pass this on. We could still save our language computing.

You're asking supporters to make their case. Note, though, that with the characters included in the ballot, theirs becomes the default position: they don't need to answer these questions to achieve their goal unless they have reason to believe that ISO member national bodies will be voting against the ballot with comments that these characters need to be removed from the ballot. At this point, for better or worse, I suspect it is highly unlikely that national bodies will ask for these to be removed from the ballot.
