Just to add  a tiny bit to the very good explanation by Ken, the draft for the 
ballot texts are sometimes also included in the Unicode registry. ISO adds some 
head pages but otherwise the content is the same as the official ISO documents. 
There are always in the WG2 web site which is not protected but it takes a bit 
more effort to find them there. The advantage over the draft repertoire is that 
they show additions in context of existing characters (when applicable). But 
you lose the references to the original proposals mentioned by Debbie. So you 
need both versions, the draft repertoire to have these references, and the 
ballot text to have new characters in context.

Ken gave you the scoop about the new ISO process. Because it is going to annoy 
not just the individual experts, but also many voting country representatives I 
will probably encourage UTC to post more draft ballot documents as long as we 
are not in conflict with ISO policies.
