I will take comment 8035, as it was my contribution in cor1 that needs
to be reflected in 16e/D11.

Recirc comments

So that you will know where we most need help, I've posted a list of the
volunteers I've gotten so far as comment editors:
	http://ieee802.org/16/tge/commenteditors.html

As you can see, we still need more help. I'll update the list when I get
more volunteers.

>>>The sixth recirc of the P802.16e Sponsor Ballot, involving
P802.16e/D11, ran from 12-27 September.
>>>
>>>41 comments were received. One was an editorial Coordination comment.
The others were all from P802.16e Technical Editor Ron Murias. The first
one of these reads:
>>>
>>>"P802.16e/D11 is not fully consistent with P802.16-2004/Cor1/D5. The
editorial instructions of both documents are in some cases contradictory
and impossible to interpret, if both documents are given equal
precedence. If the Cor1 draft is approved first, then the 16e draft, as
the more recent one, would have clear precedence. In this case, the
interpretation would be unambiguous. However, in this case, some
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
and, in many cases, recommended solutions. Many of the comments are
"Technical, Binding." The 41 comments are available here:
>>>	http://ieee802.org/16/docs/05/80216-05_072.zip
>>>
>>>I cannot reasonably inform RevCom that we will not recirculate these
comments; I am sure that RevCom would reject this approach. Therefore, I
have no choice but to request that RevCom remove P802.16e/D11 from the
October 2005 RevCom Early Consideration agenda (for Standards Board
approval in November).
>>>
>>>By virtue of a motion at Session #39, Brian Kiernan and I are
authorized to resolve these comments. We will  finalize and announce a
process soon. Our goal, which I think is within reach, is to complete
comment resolution in time to open one last recirc by October 17. This
would allow for approval of the standard by the IEEE-SA Standards Board
on 7 December. This is about a month later than we could have expected
under Early Consideration.
>>>
>>>This is a painful process for all of us, but I, for one, want to
thank Ron for putting the effort into this. This issues he spotlighted
are critical to the integrity of our standard. Let's get it right and
get it over with. Free free to begin reviewing the comments.
