The IRG#14 makes the following resolutions:

Resolution IRG M14.1: Document submission deadlines for future meetings.

IRG resolves that for all future IRG meetings, new documents for agenda items must be submitted 7 days before the meeting to guarantee discussion during the meeting.

Resolution IRG M14.2: Compatibility Ideographs

IRG resolves to accept IRG N710 as the response to WG2 resolution M37.16: CJK compatibility ideographs from JIS. IRG also instructs its Rapporteur to present IRG N710 to WG2#38.

Resolution IRG M14.3: Non-cognate decision procedure

IRG resolves to adopt the following procedure to determine when to apply the non-cognate rule for unification:

Given a pair of Ideographs with similar shapes, if both are found in one of the standard IRG dictionaries (Kangxi, Daikanwa Jiten, Hanyu Dazidian, Daejaweon) and are given different meanings, they are to be considered non-cognate. If they are not both found in any of the standard IRG dictionaries, other evidence may be used subject to the approval of IRG.

IRG also agrees to refine the interpretation of the phrase 'different meanings' in future meetings.

Resolution IRG M14.4: Application of the Non-cognate rule to extension B Editorial work.

IRG resolves to adopt the following:

1. All questionable unifications found in papers submitted before 9 December 1999 will be evaluated based on the procedure in resolution IRG M14.3.
2. The Chief Editor will receive all the justification evidences for questionable ideograph by 30th December 1999.
3. If Ideographs are rejected for de-unification based on the procedure in resolution IRG M14.3, the submitting member may withdraw them in favor of submitting them as compatibility ideographs.
4. No more requests for de-unification based on the non-cognate rule in resolution IRG M14.3 will be accepted after IRG#14. Future such submissions must be deferred until work begins on Extension C.

IRG resolves to accept the IRG Editorial report, IRG N712: IRG Editorial comments for CD 10646-2 Extension B. IRG agrees to ask member bodies to include the compiled response based on the Editorial report, IRG N712, into their CD 10646-2 ballot comments.
