F. D’Auria, Pisa, December 11, 2019. SOAR on Passive systems: Comments and answers from rev-02 (Sept. 20, 2019) to rev-03 (Nov. 07, 2019), to rev-04 (Dec. 10, 2019), to rev-05 (Dec. 11, 2019) and to rev- 06 (Dec. 15, 2019). These are reported in the order they have been received and implemented. This report consists of 126 pages including the present one. All sets of received comments (more than 1100) to rev02 of the SOAR on Passive Systems are identified below (bold characters, Roman numbering), including Institution, acting scientist(s) and date of comment delivery. Each individual comment is identified by Arab digits numbering (in a few cases, in Italics, my comment to the comment). My answer is provided in red color below. Each Lead Author (at least) is expected to read the comments and the answers and to provide additional comments as needed. Starting from page 69, comments from rev03 to rev04 are discussed. Starting from page 107 comments from rev04 to rev05 are discussed. Any addition to the main text or comment to the comments below should be discussed at the December 11-13, 2019 meeting. An excellent job was done by contributors who provided comments below (although, in a few cases, contributors put questions instead of addressing unclear topics). Furthermore: (in general), my answer ‘Done. Thanks.’ implies that the contributor found an editorial bug; my answer ‘Done.’ implies that the text is improved. I introduced new text as discussed at item 309.
