Comments of Japan

2. Technical

What happened to the accepted Japanese comment (see N0748).


Response: The comment is reasonable. The Japanese comment in the N0748 was accepted and it had been the editor’s intention to include text in 9.2. The editor apologies that this was not included and will rectify this in the next draft.

Response: Comment accepted. A processing model will be added to the text.
