The Assamese Writing in the Unicode

Friends:
UNICODE to have a meeting next week to discuss the status of the Assamese script. Please see the response I received from the Unicode. I have forwarded two of my recently published articles as well as other published materials on the subject.
 
My requested position is as follows:
 
Rename the present Bengali Script in the Unicode either as
1) Assamese and Bengali Script or
2) Kamrupi Script
 
or to have a separate slot in the Unicode for the Assamese script.
 
 
Thanks

Dear Rajen Barua,

Thank you very much for forwarding your letter and documentation regarding
the situation of Assamese with respect to the Unicode Standard. Please
know that we will discuss the situation with Assamese at the upcoming
Unicode Technical Committee meeting next week, from October 31 through
November 4, 2011.

We will let you know the results of that meeting once it is over.

Sincerely yours,

Lisa Moore
Chair, Unicode Technical Committee
