Hi Edward,

This would be done by the publication editors.

We could discuss separately whether we do the same thing during draft development.

Hi Robert,

While the intention is good especially for the readers to read, it may create a lot of overhead to Editors who are preparing the draft as they need to keep changing colors when they insert, delete, or change texts.

Edward

Hello Editors,

I’m soliciting input on the use of color in the published amendments. Essentially it would make published amendments look somewhat like the redline draft:

On “Change” instructions,

inserted text would be blue and underlined
deleted text would be red with strickthrough

Editing instructions would be a different color, too.

If printed in black and white, the amendment would look much like it does today, although the color might come out as a shade of gray.

See attached examples.

Other groups are using this. For consistency, we would start with the 11ax draft (1^st amendment to 802.11-2020).

Let me know whether or not you are in favor.

Regards,

-Robert
