Re: [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] 120 contributions to 16e for Session#33
JH's request is fine with me. We will only harmonize the contributions
that were formally received by the 802.16e Security Adhoc, however.
To do otherwise would set a terrible precedent - both in terms of
Working Group procedure and in terms of giving proper consideration to
what we are actually incorporating.

Security Adhoc Chair

We have only through July 2nd to provide reply commentary on these contributions, plus all other comments to the D3 draft. I think we need to organize immediately, or there is no way that we are going to get this done and be ready to make it through this volume of contributions at Portland.

Based on this volume, we will have no choice but to bull our way through, omit discussion and potential modification, and just vote. Because of the volume of material it is likely that members will not have adequately reviewed all material to make an informed vote at that time without discussion, which will not be possible. So good contributions will be voted down because of the volume of work.

This will give contributors the benefit of some focused evaluation and provide members relief from having to review all contributions. To facilitate establishing topical focus, I would encourage contributors to provide a one or two paragraph overview/summary of their contribution to the list.
