Re: [STDS-802-16] Call for Comments on Working Document from Maintenance Task Group



All--

I reviewed all the commentary files in the Maintenance Upload Directory, and
I agree with Roger's decision to exclude the comments in the files he listed
with the exception of Maint_Comments_Dave_Pechner.USR.

The document under review was 802.16maint-04/10, and even if you want to
introduce new corrections to the baseline document (whether you use the
P802.16-REVd/D5 draft or IEEE std 802.16-2004), your comments, and
particularly the suggested remedies, must provide direction and instruction
to the editor as to what needs to be added/changed to the working document.

What I will allow is for the commentators who produced these files to
resubmit their comments, provided they correct the comments so that they are
in reference to the working document, 802.16maint-04/10.  Otherwise I am
going to have to reject them.  The deadline to correct these comments is
January 20th, AOE.  Note also that these comments, once corrected, will have
to go into the database marked as "late", which will mean that we will
review them if there is sufficient time.

Again I appreciate the intent to clean up the errors and ambiguities in the
baseline document, but we must move forward in developing the standard.  We
have started a working document, which will later become a draft standard.
When new corrections are to be introduced, they now have to be in reference
to the document under review.  Hopefully, we can avoid this problem when we
are in the Working Group Letter Ballot.

As for 80216maint-05/01, I ask Roger to include David Pechner's comments,
and announce a Call for Reply Comments.

Jon

P.S. I apologize for the slow response to this issue.  I have been on the
road for the weekend, and I will also be for most of the next 24 hours as I
am heading to China this morning.  So my responses will still be delayed for
another day.

Maintenance Task Group


I've compiled the comments submitted regarding IEEE
802.16maint-04/10. I've posted this as IEEE 802.16maint-05/01:
        http://ieee802.org/16/maint/docs/80216maint-05_01.zip

Some submitted comments are excluded from this database. I believe
that the excluded comments are in these files:

Maint_Comments_Dave_Pechner.USR
Maint_Comments_Segal_Yossi.usr
Maint_comments_Yanover_Vladimir.USR
Maint_Comments_Yaniv_Ran.USR
Maint_comments_Andrei_Enescu.USR
Maint_comments_Jiho.USR
Maint_comments_Yong_Chang.USR
Maint_comments_Jung Je_Son.USR
Maint_comments_Hur_Yerang.USR
Maint_comments_Fong_Mo-Han.USR
Maint_comments_Roland_Muenzner.USR
Maint_Comments_Kitroser_Itzik.USR
Maint_Comments_Cho_Jaehee.USR
Maint_comments_GiulioCavalli.USR
Maint_Comments_Duke_Dang.USR
Maint_comments_Yigal_Eliaspur.USR
Maintenance-comments-s35-Wang-Lei.USR
Maint_Comments_Lomnitz_Yuval_80216maint_04_10.USR
Maint_Comments_Lomnitz_Yuval_80216REVdD5.USR
Maintenance_Joel_Demarty.USR
Maintenance_Popper_Ambroise.USR
80216maint_comments_Castelow_David.USR

Those comments were excluded because, in my assessment, they do NOT
address IEEE 802.16maint-04/10, which is the document under review.
The comments appear to address some different document. This is
obvious because, in most cases, the comments refer to page numbers
greater than 86, and 802.16maint-04/10 has only 86 pages. We can't
let a single database include comments referring to more than one
document, because the result would be really confusing.

It's possible that I have made some mistakes in sorting out these
issues. If so, please let me know. Please understand that the comment
resolution process becomes very difficult when people ignore the Call
for Comments.

Personally, I would suggest rejecting all the comments that addressed
the wrong document. However, perhaps the TG Chair would suggest
another approach. For instance, we could compile the rejected
comments into a separate database, presuming that most of these are
referring to IEEE P802.16-REVd/D5.

Reply comments will be due on 20 January AOE. Detailed instructions
will follow.

Roger
