Re: [STDS-802-16] Handling of IEEE 802.16 Letter Ballot Recirc #23a
Hi Roger,
Please check the upload websites - lb23.wirelessman.org or
maint.wirelessman.org
There are only 5 contributions at the upload site, contrary to your email
saying that there are 17 contributions.
Could you please make all 17 contributions visible to everyone so that we
could review those contributions and write reply comments by tonight?
I believe the deadline for the reply comments submission should be delayed
until all contributions are uploaded for review.
Best regards,
Jungnam Yun

Subject: [STDS-802-16] Handling of IEEE 802.16 Letter Ballot Recirc #23a
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.
(1) We have posted 802.16-07/013r1:
<http://ieee802.org/16/docs/07/80216-07_013r1.zip>
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as Superceded by Comment Y.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).
