<tt>Dear Working Group,</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>There is a minor issue with 123B2.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>The NOTE in 5.4.3.3.5.2 of 123B2 states that, “For high-entropy samples, it can be shown that k_z(t)>=2.” In fact, as the standard is written this isn’t true, it’s just extremely rare – it can only happen when bit depth is D=3. (See Annex F of the Green
 Book.)</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>We intended for the idea of this note to be normative, eliminating the need to implement a code that would be used only for a very special case. I believe we should request a corrigendum to do the following:</tt><br>
<tt>               1.    In 5.4.3.3.5.2, change</tt><br>
<tt>                                                 k_z(t) is the largest positive integer k_z(t)<=max{D-2,2}, such that…</tt><br>
<tt>                                to</tt><br>
<tt>                                                 k_z(t) is the largest integer 2<=k_z(t)<=max{D-2,2}, such that…</tt><br>
<tt>               2.     Delete the NOTE in 5.4.3.3.5.2.</tt><br>
<tt>               3.    In 5.4.3.3.5.1.4, change</tt><br>
<tt>                                                 For t>0…</tt><br>
<tt>                                to</tt><br>
<tt>                                                 For t>0 and D>3, …</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Please let me know if this looks right, and if we have consensus I’ll forward this to the Editor and Area Director.</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Thanks,</tt><br>
