- Naming Decision: Attendees selected the name "székely-magyar rovás" (Székely-Hungarian Rovas) as opposed to "magyar-székely rovás" and agreed that Székely-Hungarian Rovas script never died out and is still in use today.
- Standardization Suggestion: Concerning the unicode standardization of Székely-Hungarian Rovas, Dr. Gábor Hosszú prepared and presented a draft (N3527) which modified the "x" character, which attendees decidedly supported.

- English: Szekely-Hungarian Rovas
