<div>> Ämne: Consensus Call on Latin Sharp S and Greek Final Sigma</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> In consultation with the area director, issues were raised concerning</div>
<div>> the consensus on the use of Latin small letter sharp S and Greek small</div>
<div>> final sigma as PVALID in IDNA2008.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> I have copied the working group on a request for opinion from the</div>
<div>> Unicode Technical Committee.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> By this message, I request a response from the Working Group on the</div>
<div>> question:</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Should Latin Small Letter Sharp S and Greek Small Letter Final Sigma</div>
<div>> be PVALID in IDNA2008 or not:</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Please Respond by choosing among the following:</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> (1) Both characters should be PVALID</div>
<div>> (2) Both characters should be DISALLOWED</div>
<div>> (3) Only Latin Small Letter Sharp S should be PVALID</div>
<div>> (4) Only Greek Small Letter Final Sigma should be PVALID</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> Choices (3) and (4) create additional complexity in dealing with</div>
<div>> IDNA2003 and IDNA2008 disparities</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> During the Last Call, a number of objections were raised with regard</div>
<div>> to choice (1) and this led the Area Director to question the rough</div>
<div>> consensus that the WG submission to IESG claimed.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> It will be much appreciated if all working group members would respond</div>
<div>> by December 8.</div>
<div>> </div>
<div>> thanks,</div>
