>Folks,
>
>I am writing to provide a further explanation of WG Letter Ballot #19.
>
>The ballot (per email announcement below) asks whether "to adopt
>IEEE 802.16g-06/002 as the first P802.16g draft and to submit it for
>Working Group Letter Ballot."
>
>The decision to adopt a document as a draft and submit it for WG
>Letter Ballot is normally made in session. However, we did not act
>on the issue during Session #19 due to the lack of quorum. Instead,
>we deferred the issue to a letter ballot. If the WG approves the
>motion in Letter Ballot #19, we will open a WG Letter Ballot #20 on
>the P802.16g draft. This ballot will close before Session #42.
>
>At this time, IEEE 802.16g-06/002 does not yet exist. However, the
>instructions to create it do exist: the NetMan Task Group decided on
>12 January "to authorize the editor to revise 802.16g-05/008r2, in
>accordance with the comment resolutions in 802.16g-06/001r1, and
>reissue the document as 802.16g-06/002." You can find the previous
>working document 802.16g-05/008r2 here:
> http://ieee802.org/16/netman/docs/80216g-05_008r2.zip
>and the Session #41 comment resolutions here:
> http://ieee802.org/16/netman/docs/80216g-06_001r1.zip
>These two documents, along with the referenced contributions:
> http://ieee802.org/16/netman/16g.html#contrib
>are sufficient to describe the content of IEEE 802.16g-06/002.

>Please note that Letter Ballot #19 is not requesting your comments
>on the contents of the P802.16g working document; it is instead just
>asking whether it the document is ready to ballot as a draft.
>Comments on the draft will be welcome in the following Letter Ballot
>#20. Subclause 4.1.3 of the ballot announcement says: "There is no
>expectation of comment resolution in this ballot. If Letter Ballot
>#19 is successful, any comments on the document under review will be
>included in the following Working Group Letter Ballot review of the
>P802.16g draft."
>
>Due to the delay in providing this information, I'll extend the
>deadline until January 29 AOE.
