Response to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG15 N229R = WG20 N082:

WG20 agrees with WG15 on the objectives expressed in the WG15 resolution 179.

Specific answers to the questions raised in WG15 N229R:

1.2.a WG20 has no firm standpoint on which minimum set of classes must
exist, but it will be a part of the reference model currently being produced
by WG20. WG20 believes that the current set of classes defined in ISO/IEC 9945-2
2nd CD all belong to the minimum set.

1.2.b and 2.2: Please see the WG20 position paper on character use
in identifiers in ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG20 N085.

1.2.c: It has for a long time been a requirement by the SC22 ad hoc group on 
character handling to have programming language functionality to
define new classes and change the contents of predefined classes.
