National bodies that submitted comments are listed below. Where a national body has submitted a negative vote the indication (N) appears after its name in the list.

Finland
Accepted in principle.
The text will be adjusted as follows to express more clearly the intended use of the collection called in DCOR2 a "dense collection".

  1. The following sentence will be added to the Note of 4.11 (collection):

    2. "However it is intended that the collection number and name will remain unchanged in future editions of this International Standard."
  2. In 4.17 the term "dense collection" will be changed to "fixed collection", its definition will be extended as shown below, and the Note will be deleted.

    3. 4.17 fixed collection: A collection in which every code position within the identified ranges(s) has a character allocated to it, and which is intended to remain unchanged in future editions of this International Standard.
  3. In Annex A "dense collection" will be replaced by "fixed collection" in A.1 line 3, A.3 title, A.3 line 2, and A.3 final paragraph line 3.
  4. In the list of collections shown in A.1 the asterisks will be deleted from the "positions" column for all collection entries except for 1, 2, 3, 12, 44, 299, and 301.
Israel
Accepted.
Note: This comment is in effect a new Defect Report, since the blocks mentioned in the comment were shown in DCOR2 without change from ISO/IEC 10646-1 First Edition.

In clause 19 (Block names) the following words will be deleted:
"and for use in the specification of subsets of coded graphic characters (see clause 13)"

In A.2 (Blocks in the BMP) the entries:
HEBREW EXTENDED-A 0590 - 05CF
BASIC HEBREW 05D0 - 05EA
HEBREW EXTENDED-B 05EB - 05FF

will be replaced by the single entry:
HEBREW 0590 - 05FF

(and Figure 4 will be correspondingly changed in the next edition of ISO/IEC 10646-1).

Republic of Korea (N)
Accepted.
On page 3 the entry in A.1 (Collections of coded graphic characters):
71 HANGUL SYLLABLES AC00 - D7A3
will be amended to:
71 HANGUL SYLLABLES AC00 - D7A3 *

Turkey
Accepted in principle.
The reference to Figure 4 is correct, since this new figure has been added in Amendment 5 (Hangul syllables) which is due for publication by ITTF during the early part of 1998.

To clarify this point, the words "(see Amendment 5)" will be added at the end of clause 19 (Block names), after the existing words "illustrated in Figures 3 and 4"
