CanadaEditorial comment - By the time this Amendment progresses to the next stage - i.e. FPDAM - the joint edition 10646:
2003 will be published by ITTF. The normative references should be changed to refer to this edition replacing thecurrent references to the different parts and their amendments. The Note on the first page of the PDAM text alreadynotes this.

Japan1) Page 1 of PDAM2 the part referring Page 2, Clause 3 of ISO 14651
Replace five normative references with a single reference ISO/IEC 10646:2003.
2) Page 2 of PDAM2, proposed Annex A , the 6th paragraph after the url
http://www.iso.org/ittf/ISO14651_2002_TABLE1_en.txt.
Replace the paragraph with the following:"The current Common Template Table reflects the repertoire of characters as defined in ISO/IEC 10646:2003."
3) Page 2 of PDAM2, proposed Annex A , NOTE2
Replace the note with the following:"NOTE 2 The repertoire targeted by ISO/IEC 10646:2003 is equivalent to the repertoire of The Unicode Standard
Version 4.0."
4) Page 2 of PDAM2, proposed Annex A , the 8th paragraph
Replace the paragraph with the following:"When ordering data applicable to other amendments of ISO/IEC 10646:2003 becomes available, this InternationalStandard and specifically its Common Template Table will be amended accordingly to cover the ordering of theadditional characters and scripts. To meet cultural requirements of specific communities, delta declarations will have tobe applied to the amended table as defined in this International Standard."
5) 9th and 10th line of referred Common Table
The file "unidata-4.0.0d5.txt" is mentioned here as a comment, However, it is not clear what is referenced by the file
name. More clarification is expected.
Singapore
Singapore appreciates the effort to align Unicode Consoritum and SC2 work and we believe this will benefit theindustry by removing possible confusion in the market place.
SwedenWe expect that the Swedish expert Kent Karlsson will send some expert contributions to SC2/WG2. Please study these.
USA
The editorial comment is:
The U.S. suggests that the normative references to ISO/IEC 10646 be updated to the latest published version of thatstandard.
