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.

> which includes the 23 late comments. We will issue a Call for Reply
> Comments, due Feb 26 AOE.
>
> (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 marked as Superceded by Comment Y.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).
