RE: NEW P1802.16.1/D3 (C/LM) Standard for Conformance to IEEE Standard
802.16 - Part 1: Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS)
Proforma for 10-66 GHz WirelessMAN-SC Air Interface
Dear Roger,
I am pleased to inform you that P1802.16.1 was approved as a new standard
by the IEEE-SA Standards Board on 12 June 2003. A copy of the document
will be forwarded to the Standards Publications Department. The editor
assigned to work on the project will contact you.
All IEEE standards shall be updated within five years of the date of
publication. If the standard is not revised, reaffirmed, or withdrawn
within five years, the sponsor will be notified that it will be submitted
to the Standards Board for administrative withdrawal.
Please contact me if you have any questions prior to speaking with your
editor.
Note: NesCom changed the designation to P802.16/Conformance01.
Note: Editorial staff is to include a proper PICS blurb.
Sincerely,
********************************************************************************

>Congratulations to Ken Stanwood (Task Group Chair) and Carl Eklund
>(Editor)! This 164-page document took a lot of time and attention to
>detail.
>
>This becomes the fifth standard to be completed by 802.16, and the
>third standalone standard:

> (1) IEEE Std 802.16+802.16a+802.16c
> (2) IEEE Std 802.16.2
> (3) IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance01

>The project was completed on an efficient schedule, beating the
>submission deadline projected in the PAR (which was itself approved
>less than ten months ago). To see how this was done, take a look at
>the schedule <http://ieee802.org/16/tgc/C1/schedule.html>.

>I have updated the web site appropriately.

>We will work with IEEE-SA to have IEEE Std 802.16/Conformance01-2003
>published soon, but I don't yet have a projected publication date.
