    Yes.

    If you want to refer to WG2 documents, the definitive one
    is:

    http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/N2991.pdf

    That is what is going to FDAM ballot, and will define the
    contents of the eventual, published Amendment 2.

    You are misreading the disposition of comments. The German
    vote was negative on the FPDAM2, because it contained
    Phoenician. The wording of their comment was unclear, but
    by reference to their PDAM comments, it becomes clear that
    they were asking that Phoenician be removed from the amendment.
    The request to remove Phoenican from the amendment is what
    was "Not accepted" -- and as a result, the German vote on
    FPDAM2 remained negative.
