[For others on the reflector, this is about adding a

NOTE---A STA is not required to include all mandatory rates in its operational rate set, and a STA starting a BSS is not required to include all mandatory rates in the basic rate set.]

I would suggest either

9.4.2.3 Supported Rates and BSS Membership Selectors element

11.1.4.6 Operation of Supported Rates and BSS Membership Selectors element and

Extended Supported Rates and BSS Membership Selectors element

11.1.7 Supported rates and extended supported rates advertisement

Probably one of latter two, as this is more "behaviour" than "format".

Note also the existing NOTE in 10.3.1, which says something related

to (but not identical to) CID 318:

NOTE—A STA’s operational rate set does not necessarily contain all the mandatory rates. However a STA has to be

capable of receiving using a mandatory rate (as required by the rules in 10.7 (Multirate support)) even if it is not present

in this set.

Mark,

CID 318 discusses the use of mandatory data rates and proposes a resolution to add a note. However the comment does not provide a clause number or location where the note is to be added.

Could you propose the location for where the note is to be added?

Thanks,

Mike
