Re: [STDS-802-16] Call for Reply Comments: P802.16e/D11 Sponsor Ballot Recirc
Roger,
I will take 8006, since I have already written a solution for that one.
If you cannot convince Jeff Mandin to take 8007 & 8008, I will endeavor to
solve it.
I think I already wrote a solution for 8011 & 8019 as well. I will have to
take a look at my notes.
Pretty sure I have also done 8025 too.
You can pencil me in for all of these.
Thanks,
Phillip Barber

>>>The sixth recirc of the P802.16e Sponsor Ballot, involving P802.16e/D11,

>>>41 comments were received. One was an editorial Coordination comment. The

>>>"P802.16e/D11 is not fully consistent with P802.16-2004/Cor1/D5. The

>>>and impossible to interpret, if both documents are given equal

>>>editorial instructions P802.16e/D11 would negate those in
>>>P802.16-2004/Cor1/D5, and it is not clear whether this was intentional or
>>>accidental."

>>>The other 39 of Ron's comments specify the specific issues identified
