stds-802-16: P802.16.2 Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems - LAN/MAN Specific Requirements - Coexistence of Broadband Wireless Access Systems

[Jodi Haasz <j.haasz@ieee.org> (by way of Roger B. Marks)]

[Notice: It is the policy of 802.16 to treat messages posted here as non-confidential.]

Attached is IEEE's acceptance of our coexistence PAR (802.16.2).

IEEE made one change: they added coordination with the IEEE Communications Society. I have updated the HTML version of the PAR and have added a link to the more "official" PDF version.

Dear Mr. Carlo:

I am pleased to inform you that on 16 September 1999 the IEEE-SA Standards Board approved the above referenced project adding coordination with the Communications Society.  Gerry Petersen of the Communications Society has responded positively to this coordination and this has been added to the PAR form.  A copy of the file is attached in .pdf format.

At the bottom of this e-mail, please find URLs which you may find useful in the development of your proposed standard and in submitting your final draft for approval.  Written responses from all committees/organizations listed on the PAR as proposed coordination must be included with the final draft when it is submitted.

If coordination is effected by common membership, i.e., a person on the standard's developing committee who is also a member of the committee/organization specified on the PAR for coordination, there must be a document included with the final draft from that coordinating body which states that person is authorized to represent it.  We strongly recommend that a copy of your draft be sent to this office for review prior to the final voting by the working group to allow for a quick review by the editorial staff before sponsor balloting.

If you should have any further questions or would like to receive this information in paper, please contact me at 732-562-6367 or by email at j.haasz@ieee.org

Sincerely,
