Re: Not accepted by UTC but in ISO ballot?
Shriramana, That category is used to track character(s) in process that may have been approved by WG2 but are not yet in ballot, or are in contention, and may have just been dropped from ballot, but which still have sufficient visibility to be tracked. The process is a bit rough around the edges when dealing with two separate committees with asynchronous processes and not all of whose members have unanimous agreement about what they are moving forward on. The pipeline is a means of tracking various status as the committees work to synchronize their eventual publications of new repertoire. --Ken On 12/27/2019 7:06 AM, Shriramana Sharma via Unicode wrote: Now I'm wondering about the similar category "not accepted by UTC, and not in ISO ballot" – why such a character would be mentioned on the pipeline at all…
Re: Not accepted by UTC but in ISO ballot?
Hello Ken and thanks for the reply. So I understand that the need for this category is rare but occurs nevertheless. Now I'm wondering about the similar category "not accepted by UTC, and not in ISO ballot" – why such a character would be mentioned on the pipeline at all… On Fri, 27 Dec, 2019, 07:19 Ken Whistler, wrote: > Shriramana, > > On 12/20/2019 6:29 PM, Shriramana Sharma via Unicode wrote: > > I was looking at the pipeline for something else, and for the first > > time I see a character category: “not accepted by the UTC but in ISO > > ballot” and two characters in it. > Those two characters changed status as of December 4, when the > disposition of comments for CD3 was posted.

Those two characters changed status as of December 4, when the disposition of comments for CD3 was posted. They will not be part of the DIS ballot. The pipeline has now been updated to reflect that change of status. So IIUC while technically people are free to submit a document to the ISO separately without submitting to UTC, it has always been the practice to my knowledge to get a character approved by the UTC first. That is a preferred process, but doesn't always occur. The most obvious exception is that large new CJK repertoire additions are developed by the IRG and often go into ballot in ISO before the UTC takes a formal decision to approve them. CJK Extension G has now been approved for 13.0 by the UTC, but the entire block was listed in the pipeline for some time as "not accepted by UTC, but in active ISO technical ballot" once Extension G went into CD balloting. --Ken
