M1 Status

Andy: All but 2 bugs are fixed. Massive failures were introduced due to new data coming into ICU from CLDR
March 16, 2007 is the planned freeze for M1, which will contain stable features and bug fixes.

CDRA and UTR 22 Naming

 Issue

ICU encodes the release date of RP Map and TP Map files from CDRA in UCM file names according to UTR-22 naming scheme. CDRA has RP and TP files that may be released on the same day but may pertain to different Unicode versions. This causes ambiguous names to be produced for UCM files.
George proposes to:
  1.  Add Unicode version to the UCM file names
  2. Add files that contain least mapping to PUA in the default installation of ICU 

Decision

  1. Use Unicode version in UCM file names only where ambiguity exists
  2. The naming scheme and changes should be made in a backwards compatible way
