This note is a Call for Reply Comments regarding the comment database:
     <http://ieee802.org/16/docs/07/80216-07_013r1.zip>
for IEEE 802.16 Letter Ballot Recirc #23a.

The deadline is February 26 AOE <http://tinyurl.com/2qmq6m>.

The instructions are included in the Commentary window that is set to  
open upon launch.

Commentary should export your reply comments to a file with a name of  
the format "LB23a_NameFamily_NameGiven.cmtr". Upload this file, by  
the deadline, to <http://lb23.wirelessman.org>.

Please remember that the most effective Reply Comment is one that is  
suitable for use, without modification, as the group's response to  
the comment.



> As previously reported, Letter Ballot Recirc #23a closed on 17  
> February. At Session #47, the WG authorized the WG Chair to form a  
> Ballot Resolution Committee to resolve the resulting comments and  
> conduct another recirculation. Here is a report on the status of  
> this situation.
>
> In the recirc, we received 81 comments and 17 uploaded  
> contributions. Another 23 comments were uploaded on 18 February. I  
> reviewed the situation with Maintenance TG Chair (Jon Labs) and the  
> document's Editor (Joe Schumacher), considering the number and  
> extent of the comments and the level of detail provided in the  
> proposed remedies. We decided that it was not feasible to conduct a  
> comment resolution in time for the creation of a new draft and the  
> conduct of a second recirculation before Session #48. In order to  
> make good use of the remaining time before Session #48, therefore,  
> we have arranged a different approach.

> (2) We will issue a new Call for Comments, with a deadline of March  
> 4 AOE. New comments are welcome. However, we will particularly  
> encourage comments that address previous
> comments and their replies.
>
> (3) We issue a second Call for Reply Comments, with a deadline of  
> March  11.

>
> Here's an example of how we hope this will proceed in the three steps:
>
> (1) We receive a Reply Comment to Comment X. It explains that the  
> remedy in Comment X is weak or incomplete. It might propose another  
> solution.
>
> (2) We receive a brand new comment, Comment Y. It proposes a better  
> or more complete solution than that proposed by Comment X. This  
> solution may have been stimulated by a previous Reply Comment.
>
> (3) We receive a Reply Comment recommending that Comment X be  
> marked as Superceded by Comment Y.
>     We receive a Reply Comment saying that Comment Y should be  
> accepted. Or maybe accepted-modified.
>
> By the time we get to the meeting, we hope to have a pretty clear  
> picture of the views of the WG members. If this works as planned,  
> the Maintenance TG should have a relatively easy job to reach  
> consensus on the comment resolutions.
>
> Soon, I'll post a short note with the details of the first Call for  
> Reply Comments (1).
