My understanding is that in IEEE (as well
as ISO and CEN), "may" can be replaced with "may not"
without any effect in the standard's conformance requirements and is therefore
informative only. Changing from "can" to "may" can be done
with little effect other than to indicate permission rather than possibility as
indicated below. RR From: *** 802.11 TGac
- VHT below 6GHz*** [mailto:STDS-802-11-TGAC@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Edward Reuss Hi Adrian: In section 2.3 on page 13 of this document you quote the new text of
Note 2 of 310.5 with the word "modulation" misspelled as
"modulatin". I hope that this error did not propagate into your draft
of the 11ac document itself. If so, then that should be corrected. In section 5.1.2 of this document to the note of 186.59, the
recommendation is to change "can" to "may" in this note to
properly indicate permission, rather than possibility. Some SDOs specify
"may" as normative conformance language, and so it's use in an
informative text, such as in a note, is inappropriate. If we need to indicate
permission, then it properly belongs in normative text, rather than in a note.
(NOTE: I don't recall if the IEEE specifies "may" as normative
conformance language or not, and at 10:30 on a Friday night I'm too lazy to
look it up for myself). -- Ed Reuss On Fri, Jan 11, 2013 at 2:27 PM, Stephens, Adrian P <Adrian.P.Stephens@xxxxxxxxx>

802.11 members, I
have posted the report that summarises the findings of the 802.11 mandatory
draft review (MDR) on 802.11ac D4.1. The
document is: https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/12/11-12-1430-00-0000-802-11ac-mdr-report.doc 802.11ac
Draft 4.2 contains changes as identified in this document. I
thank Robert Stacey and David Hunter for their contribution to this
process. David performed a thorough review and identified
numerous issues. Although we didn’t reach consensus on all his
findings, the changes that were actioned
have, in my opinion, significantly improved the editorial quality
of the draft. Best
Regards, Adrian
