Background: The US member body, Canada and some other member bodies have expressed their opinion at the SC 2 - Crete meeting that for registering of sub-repertoires of ISO/IEC 10646 it should be sufficient to use the collection identifier mechanism of 10646, and that the project proposal to expand the scope of ISO 7350 be abandoned. This paper expands on this position. At the Crete, SC 2 meeting in July 1997, the following resolutions were taken: RESOLUTION M 07.22 (Disposition of Comments on CD 7350, Registration of repertoires of graphic characters from ISO/IEC 10367) SC 2 resolves to suspend this project on 7350 Revision (see Resolution M07.28). UNANIMOUS RESOLUTION M 07.28 (Collection Identifiers for 10646 subsets/sub-repertoire) With reference to WG 2 Resolution M33.31 in document N 2927, and WG 3 Resolution M12.11 in document N 2933, SC 2 instructs WG 2, in corporation with WG 3 to prepare a proposal to cover the requirements for Collection Identifiers for 10646 subsets and report to the next SC 2 Plenary. SC 2 further invites National Bodies and Liaison Organizations to communicate their needs to WG 2. SC 2 invites US and Canadian National Bodies to assist WG 2 in this effort. UNANIMOUS Collections are defined in the latest Technical Corrigendum (COR.2) to 10646-1: 1983 (E), which was recently balloted in SC 2 (Ref. ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2/WG 2 N 1664; Draft Technical Corrigendum No.2 to ISO/IEC 10646-1:1 1983 (E)) 4.11: collection: A set of coded characters which is numbered and named and which consists of those coded characters whose code positions lie within one or more identified ranges. Note - If an of the identified ranges include code positions to which no character is allocated, the repertoire of the collection will change if an additional character is assigned to any of those positions at a future amendment of this International Standard. 4.17: dense collection: A collection in which every code position within the identified range(s) has a character allocated to it. Note - The repertoire of a dense collection can not be e.
