The P802.16a/D6 Second Recirculation Ballot has closed.
The vote report <http://ieee802.org/16/tga/sponsorballot/report.html> shows that five people changed their vote from Disapprove to Approve this time, giving the draft an 88% approval rate. Seven Disapprove votes remain.
The comment report is available:
<http://ieee802.org/16/docs/02/80216-02_62.zip>
15 comments were received, from four people. The new comments are numbered 357-371 in the database, which also includes the old comments for reference. The new comments are from the following:
-Marianna Goldhammer (7 Technical, Binding, 1 Technical, Non-binding)
-Vladimir Yanover (1 Technical, Binding, 1 Technical, Non-binding)
-Tal Kaitz (3 Technical, Binding, 1 Editorial)
-David Trinkwon (1 Editorial)
I have created a page showing my view the steps we can take complete the 802.16a draft: <http://ieee802.org/16/tga/sponsorballot/closeout.html>. Start at the line marked "IF problematic binding comments appear in Second Recirculation Ballot," because that's where we currently stand.
Replies to the comments are solicited. Please follow the instructions below. The deadline is noon (Hawaii) on Monday 11 November.
