Attachment 1: Canada

Comment:  Canada has no expertise on Yi script.  Discussion on some of the email fora indicate that the PDAM text seems to have introduced several errors compared to the input documents.  Editor and contributing editor are requested to verify the content and fix the PDAM text.


Attachment 2: China

China would like to vote " NO " on ISO/IEC 10646-1/PDAM 14 ( Reference number: ISO/JTC1/SC2 N3083 ) since there are some errors in names and orders of China's proposal for ISO/IEC 10646-1/PDAM 14, and that's why the corrected proposal will be followed by mail and will replace the original one.

Sorry for any inconvenience occurred due to such changes.


Attachment 3: Ireland

See attached PDF file: 02n31532.pdf

Attachment 4: Israel

General:
Israel votes YES, provided that the relevant (*) national body/bodies also approves this draft - otherwise our vote is ABSTAIN.

(*) relevant national body = the national body for which this character collection describes its national language.


Attachment 5: Japan
 
General:
If there are national standards or contributions used for constructing the character set of this Amendment, they should be referenced in the Annex L (Sources of character).


Attachment 6: UK

UK COMMENTS ACCOMPANYING VOTE OF APPROVAL ON ISO/IEC 10646-1/PDAM.14 YI SYLLABLES AND YI RADICALS

The UK approves the amendment with the following comments:

Technical comments

The character name at hex A3D2 (YI SYLLABLE HXE) in Table 229 on page 17 appears to be out of sequence in relation to the other names, whose spellings otherwise appear to follow a consistent pattern. The U.K. National Body does not have the expertise to propose a correction.


Attachment 7: USA
 
U.S. Vote for ISO/IEC 10646-1 PDAM consideration for amendment 14

Document: SC2 N 3083

The U.S. votes to disapprove SC 2 N 3083.  The reasons for disapproval are contained in the comments below.

Comments:

The U.S. position on this ballot is NO until the following things are fixed in the PDAM 14 for Yi:

1. All errors detailed in document L2/98-142 "Comments on Text for Yi PDAM
#14" must be corrected. (Note that this means, among other things, moving various characters around, and ensuring that the final result has all the glyphs correctly matching their names in the new order.)  The U.S. includes L2/98-142 with these comments, to ensure that the disposition of comments is done with complete information regarding the problems in the PDAM text.

2. The printing problem in the PDAM text on page 5 (which omitted every third number and every third name) must be fixed.

3.  The glyph currently shown at position A301 must be corrected to display at the correct size, as for the other characters.

4.  A truetype font needs to be made available to the editors prior to submission of the FPDAM ballot. If fonts used by the requesting national body cannot be made available to the editors and no alternatives are available the FPDAM ballot must be delayed indefinitely until such fonts become available.

5.  Please see attached document L2/98-142 (98142-yi.doc): 02n31533.pdf
