   <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.

   <Najib> +1
