Title: Response to Irish Nb Comments N3908 Source: Van Anderson Re: Duployan Proposal N3895 Action: for Consideration by Jtc1/sc2/wg2 and Utc

1. Introduction. Michael Everson's assistance, logistic support, and review of the various stages of the Duployan script proposal over the past two years have been critical to the successful completion of this project. His comments and concerns have invariably led to improvements in the proposal. He has raised the issues contained in document N3908 before, and these have been considered with deference to his copious and inestimable experience and the valid technical concerns he raises. The issue of reordering the Duployan allocation to follow the proposed collation order was brought to the UTC at its May, 2010 meeting at Adobe in San Jose, CA, USA, and the conclusion, after significant discussion, was that the allocation order should not be changed to reflect the collation order, as is proposed in document N3908.
