Thank you everyone. For clarification, this is not about encoding (or fonts), which had been indeed already done for all the scripts I mentioned. This is about transliteration schemes from those scripts into the Latin script.
I will now have to prepare an updated version of the ISO 15919 with these extra scripts, which I hope to be able to do during the summer.

Will the standard also complete the vowel signs for modern Kashmiri? Like Dominik, I have to mention the preliminary work of the great Anshuman Pandey (Sushruta Project). To be honest, I also was under the impression, that the Śāradā script had been implemented already, even though some signs are still missing (e.g. Vedic accent markers).

There *are* already Newa fonts, including Google's own Noto. I had assumed these already adhered to a utf8 standard. Anyhow, the person who has done the most serious work on this topic is Anshuman Pandey.

Most naturally these would be scripts that the standard already suggests are in scope, but that were not encoded in Unicode at the time of its publication. The list includes Brahmi, Grantha, Kaithi, Modi, Sharada, Takri and Newa. I am fairly confident we have enough experts to review Brahmi and Grantha, and from the past conversations in this group I believe we might have others as well. If including the scripts above has raised your previously mild interest to participate in the standard revision, feel free to let me know, you would be very welcome.
