BSC Review:

6A2.2: "(for cartographic materials printed or drawn on sheets)" -- At first, I was confused by this phrase.  Then I realized you mean 2D stuff, not in a codex (right?)  Could the language better parallel the third option (for globes..), perhaps: "for maps or other two-dimensional cartographic resources"

MT: Obviously, this suggestion would also have ramifications for the many other places throughout the rules that this phrase is used. This is the first time anyone has commented that they found the phrase confusing. 12/19/15

TF: I don't think this phrasing is confusing; I would say keep as is. 12/20/15

LSC: I agree with Todd; this is clear. 12/21/2015

NK: I agree also. After all, sheets is defined in the glossary.  12/22/15

MT: Left as is. 12/31/15

6A2.3:  You mean if the series statement differs in its second appearance, right?  This was confusing, until I read the example

MT: Yes, that is what "record the text of the statement if it differs from the form transcribed in the series area" means. It won't necessarily be the "2nd appearance" of the series, e.g. it could be on the cover of an atlas which would be the statement you would see first. 12/19/15

6E2.1:  want comma before but: "If there are parellel series titles (see 6C), but the ..."

TF: I agree. 12/17/15

MT: The current text matches what the other DCRM modules have; I see no need for a comma here. 12/19/15

LSC: Manon is correct.  The comma belongs after the introductory condition clause (i.e. after "or script").  If we did as the reviewer asks, I think we would need a semi-colon to distinguish the conditional clause from the main clause.  That looks really ugly, not to say weird. 12/21/2015

TF: As usual, I stand corrected. 12/21/15

6G3.2:  similarly, want comma before and: "... parallel series titles (see 6C), and the series ..."

TF: I think this should be 6G3.1; but I agree as well. 12/17/15

MT: Yes, the comment applies to 6G3.1 not 6G3.2. The current text matches what the other DCRM modules have; I see no need for a comma here. 12/19/15  

LSC:  Again, Manon is right, and for the same reasons.  12/21/2015 

TF: Again ... 12/21/15
