The official location of the WG2 site is: http://www.dkuug.dk/ where you can navigate to the WG2 page. Or you can avoid the navigation bar, and go direct to: http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/ The official location of the SC2 document register is: http://lucia.itscj.ipsj.or.jp/servlets/ScmDoc10?Com_Id=02 (I wish they had a normal index page as a starting point, but there you are.) If you go to the SC2 document register, you can search for SC2 N3584, which is the PDAM 2 to 10646-1, and for SC2 N3585, which is the PDAM 1 to 10646-2. Or just pick the document range N3551-N3600 and browse the list. FDAM's, administrative documents, and some other documents are locked on that list, but PDAM's and notices are publicly available without password access. The two PDAM documents are actually simply links to zipped documents also sitting on the dkuug.dk server in the SC2 section there. So if you want to avoid going through the register, here you go: http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/open/02n3584.zip http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/open/02n3585.zip If you want to provide feedback on the documents, the right way to do it is to go through a national body. Obviously, for Unicoders, the easiest way to do that is by getting formal feedback (as documents, not just unicode list email chatter) to the UTC, where joint positions are developed for Unicode and L2 feedback to WG2 through ballotting. But if you are on the unicode email list but feel it is appropriate to provide your feedback through another active national body (Ireland, Japan, Germany, Sweden, Finland, ... whatever), then that, too, is of course, up to you. If you are in any doubt about who the national bodies are, ISO keeps a list: http://www.iso.ch.iso/en/aboutiso/isomembers/MemberList.MemberSummary?MEMBERCODE=10 will get you directly there. --Ken
