>Specification of Objectionable Comment Resolutions
>
>Each comment must specifically reference a comment resolution that
>is found objectionable. In particular, each comment must begin with
>one of the following:
>
>* "I object to the resolution of Comment #x because..."
>* "I object to the implementation in the draft of Comment #x because..."
>
>where x is the number of one or more comments in IEEE 802.16-04/69r4.
>
>Comments that do not follow this format will not be considered, or
>will be considered as a low priority, depending on available time.

>The 802.16e recirculation is running late. I've been trying to reach
>Brian to work out revised schedule, but I haven't been able get him.

>I learned a couple of days ago that the editing work is running
>behind. We had planned to have D5a available for the Ballot
>Resolution Committee (BRC) recirc, to run from Dec 10-31. Ron is now
>estimating Dec 22 for the draft. The work is very extensive and
>difficult.

>In principle, we don't really need the draft to proceed with the BRC
>recirc. The process is really just a review of the comment
>resolutions; only those comment resolutions will be in scope.
>However, people usually find it very helpful to see the draft during
>their review. That's why we are waiting.
>
>I have put together a revised schedule:
> http://ieee802.org/16/tge/schedule.html
>
>It shows a BRC recirc from 23 December - 9 January. Given the
>importance of the reply comment period, I don't think we can extend
>this period any later.
>
>By the way, on the schedule, I've also sketched out a few
>alternative endings to the process, depending on how things may turn
>out.
