<br>

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The list of work items had been distributed

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"><b>3. Update to Decimal supplement</b></font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">SH had distributed an updated proposal
which was discussed. General agreement on the changes with the main point
of discussion being the use of numberCheckPolicy to control the behaviour
of the new numberZeroRep property. MB to review</font>
