>In accordance with that schedule, we have a Call for Reply Comments until 9 November. I'll need a formal announcement on that issue soon. In the meantime, you are free to begin reviewing the comments and developing your replies. Please remember that a good reply comments is not written as your personal view; it is, instead, your proposed language to use as the group's official response, with detailed instructions to the editor and a detailed explanation to the commenter. If we can come into the meeting with a good set of reply comments, the meeting will flow much more smoothly.

>Task Group d should try ensure that all of the comments are reviewed before the meeting. If you are willing to reply to all the comments in a particular subclause, please tell Gordon <GAntonello@wi-lan.com> and Itzik <itzikk@runcom.co.il> so they know that at least one person will be covering that section.
