Glen Adams of Unicode mentioned that he had forwarded our proposal to you. Let me start by congratulating you on the progress you have achieved thusfar. I was very glad to see that someone with experience in the implementation of the Ethiopic script in computer environments had taken on the challenge of making it a part of the Unicode standard. Glen Adams had informed us that you will be exploring the possibility of integrating the ideas we presented in our draft proposal into the current Ethiopic proposal (Unicode Technical Report #1). We are writing this to inquire what you think of our ideas. Did you find the paper lacking in any way or missing any key elements? Do you have any preliminary plans on merging these two proposals. That is, which ideas are you planning to incorporate into the final proposal and which ones you feel do not warrant inclusion. We consider our work to be, for all practical purposed, in its final form pending what thoughts on direction you feel would be advisable to pursue. I appreciate your time and efforts and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Yonas PS Our current draft proposal has experienced small changes since our initial contact with Glenn Adams of Unicode.
