stds-802-16: corrected P802.16a/D6 draft
Folks,
Sorry, but we have had to make a correction to the P802.16a/D6 that
we released yesterday. The new version is at the old URL:
http://ieee802.org/16/private/drafts/tga/P80216a_D6.zip
The only change is in 8.4.3.5 ("Example OFDM UL RS-CC encoding").
Because the comment resolutions changed the coding, this example
needed to be recomputed.
The IEEE Balloting Center will distribute the new version in the
confirmation ballot.

>>Dear 802.16 Participants:
>>
>>I have good news to report regarding the 802.16a Ballot Resolution
>>Committee (BRC).
>>
>>Recall that, in its Session #21 Closing Plenary Meeting, the 802.16
>>Working Group, by unanimous vote, appointed a Ballot Resolution
>>Committee to resolve any comments arising from the recirculation of
>>the 802.16a Sponsor Ballot, provided that the BRC could reach
>>unanimous agreement. The BRC was faced with 32 such comments.
>>
>>After weeks of discussions and many hours of teleconferences, the
>>BRC has today completed a set of comment resolutions:
>> http://ieee802.org/16/docs/02/80216-02_54r3.zip
>>with the adopted changes to the draft detailed in:
>> http://ieee802.org/16/tga/contrib/C80216a-02_90r7.pdf and
>> http://ieee802.org/16/tga/contrib/C80216a-02_92.pdf
>>
>>This package was unanimously approved today by the seven voting
>>members of the BRC. As a result, the Tecnical Editor (Nico van
>>Waes) is developing P802.16a/D6 for a second recirculation (a
>>Confirmation Ballot), to begin as soon as possible next week.
>>
>>The work of the BRC is documented in a committee report:
>> http://ieee802.org/16/docs/02/80216-02_56r2.pdf
>>It shows that the seven BRC members (Brian Eidson, Marianna
>>Goldhammer, Itzik Kitroser, Bob Nelson, Randall Schwartz, Shawn
>>Taylor, and Nico Van Waes), worked diligently, tirelessly, and
>>cooperatively along with the two observers (Brian Kiernan and me)
>>to complete the resolution process. We all owe the BRC a big-time
>>debt of thanks.
>>
>>In preparing the confirmation ballot package, it is important for
>>me to know, as soon as possible, whether any Disapprove voters will
>>be satisfied with some or all of the resolutions of their comments.
>>Four Disapprove voters have already converted the votes to Approve
>>on the basis of the resolutions. I'll be following up with others,
>>but, if you are one of them, feel free to contact me first. The BRC
>>will have a bit more work to do in developing more detailed
>>technical explanations for some of the decisions, but we first need
>>to see which voters remain unsatisfied.
>>
>>Given the results of this committee, I believe that there is a good
>>chance that D6 will be the final draft of 802.16a. Next week, I
>>will submit D6 to RevCom for IEEE-SA approval, which could come on
>>11 December. I do not believe we will need to allocate much time to
>>802.16a at Session #22. I have not scheduled any time for TGa to
>>meet separately in Kauai; I expect that any 802.16a issues can be
>>addressed at the Working Group Opening Plenary.
>>
>>Thanks again to the Group of Seven, and to Brian Kiernan, for
>>pulling this one out!
>>
>>Regards,
>>
>>Roger
