The register keeps changing after the book is fixed in print. Each entry below was added to this row in the order shown.

  1. "[quotation withheld, 367 words; follow the citation]""international coalition""[quotation withheld, 132 words; follow the citation]"
  2. D-233/D-234 compression pass (08e), 27 September 2026: D-244 ITEM 2, 28 SEPTEMBER 2026: PAGE 6 CARRIES A CHART THIS ROW DID NOT RECORD (audits/reports/CORr_cx_retest_2026-09-28.md H-1). The row currently reads 'READ IN FULL 15 August 2026, 14 pages, extracted to research/SRC-093_Syria_First_NDC_extracted.txt' and concludes 'SYRIA'S CLIMATE COMMITMENT ON THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRY RESTS ON AN EMISSIONS INVENTORY FOR 2005'. That reading came from a text extract which carries the chart's title and source line (extract lines 200 and 202) and not its content, because the chart is an embedded image; the document was not read in full until page 6 was read at the page, on 28 September 2026, with all fourteen pages re-read the same day from the held PDF (research/retrieved/SRC-093_unfccc.int.pdf and research/SRC-093_Syria_First_NDC_UNFCCC.pdf are byte-identical, MD5 21f1d5ebf1ef34570d86866552166e5a). WHAT PAGE 6 CARRIES, under '1. Energy sector': a bar chart headed 'CO2 emissions from the energy sector (Mton CO2 equivalent)', axis 'Mton CO2 eq.' from 0 to 80, one bar for each year from 2010 to 2016, and the line 'Source: Ministry of Electricity, National Energy Research Centre.' No value is printed against any bar. No method, gas list, data table or IPCC guideline appears anywhere in the fourteen pages (searched for method, IPCC, guideline, inventory, CO2, GHG and emission). The text above the chart, verbatim: 'the demand on energy sources has fallen between 2011 and 2016 by less than half (approximately from 25 to 10 million tons of oil equivalent), and Many generation plants are out of service .The overall demand for energy consumption, including in transportation ,industry and household sectors, has led to a significant reduction in emissions as a whole, including CO2 emissions from the energy sector as shown below'. BAR READINGS, MINE AND NOT THE DOCUMENT'S, against the zero and 80 gridlines: 2010 about 72, 2011 about 75, 2012 about 57, 2013 about 42, 2014 about 34, 2015 about 32, 2016 about 31 (million tonnes). EVERY EMISSIONS FIGURE IN THE DOCUMENT, PAGE BY PAGE: page 5, total GHG emissions of 79.07 TGCO2 eq in 2005 with sector shares energy 73%, agriculture 18%, industrial 4% and waste 5%, from the 2005 inventory; page 6, the chart; page 7, agriculture at 18% of total GHG emissions in 2005, the same inventory. Pages 1 to 4 and 8 to 14 carry no emissions figure (page 8's 'more than 2 million vehicles' is a fleet count). MAY SUPPORT: that Syria's 2018 contribution prints an energy-sector CO2 series for 2010 to 2016 attributed to the Ministry of Electricity's National Energy Research Centre, with no values and no method; that on a reading of the bars, labelled as a reading, the series falls by more than half between 2011 and 2016; that the document ties the fall to falling energy demand. MAY NOT SUPPORT: any bar value printed as the document's figure; any claim that the series is an inventory, covers another sector or gas, or shares the 2005 inventory's method; a join of the chart to the 1994 to 2005 inventory series at SRC-320 as one record; any identity between the name printed here, National Energy Research Centre, and the names Chapter 8 prints under the certification regime (National Centre for Energy Research; National Center for Renewable Energy Research, D-242). The row's conclusion about the 2005 inventory stays true of the inventory and is read with this chart beside it: the registry commitment rests on the 2005 inventory, and the same document also prints a sectoral series to 2016. ARABIC ORIGINAL: not held. Routes tried and not tried are at research/CH12_AR_2026-09-24/READING_NOTE_2026-09-24.md: five filename variants on unfccc.int, 24 September 2026; not tried, the Scribd copy (login), the NDC registry in a browser, the Ministry of Local Administration and Environment. Used at Chapter 8's section 'What is not known' (v64 lines 133 to 151 before the D-244 pass).
  3. D-246 item 5 (the Chapter 12 split), 28 September 2026: all 14 pages searched for doughnut, donut, Raworth, planetary, boundar, social foundation, ceiling and Oxfam; no occurrence of any. [Amended 28 September 2026, CORx review H-2: the words "[quotation withheld, 18 words; follow the citation]" were wider than the document and are struck.] The planning instruments it names are Syrian: the Local Planning regulation 107/2011 (page 4) and the Regional Planning Law No. 26 of 2010 (page 5), a national strategy and plan of action for adaptation proposed through the initial national communication (page 11), a transport strategy with its "plans and projects" (page 8) and integrated coastal zone management plans (page 13); none is the model. This supports the corrections list's sentence that the contribution "does not name the model". No search of Syrian ministries' planning documents for the model has been run by this project (MIN-876; audits/reports/12-what-held_v2_absences_pass.md B6).
