[STDS-802-16] Call for volunteers for consolidation document review



802.16 participants,

 

As you should be aware, the Revision PAR has now been approved.  And has been discussed during the last few 802.16 meetings, a consolidation document is being drafted by a contract editor for IEEE.   This document will merge 802.16-2004 with 802.16e-2005 (which includes 802.16-2004/Cor1-2005) and 802.16f-2005.  This document is expected to be available within a week if not sooner.  Ultimately this document will be used to develop the revision draft.

 

During the Maintenance Task Group report at the 802.16 closing plenary in Orlando, I mentioned that a core team of reviewers is being put together a to check over the document and make sure everything was done correctly editorially, and also to address questions and comments coming from the editor.  Itzik Kitroser has been good enough to volunteer to lead that work.  I also asked for volunteers to join this team. 

 

Note that this work will not involve technical work.  Technical issues will have to be addressed in the development process for the Revision project, itself.  Also note that there will be a call for comments on the consolidation document to give the opportunity for anyone to comment on it.  The purpose of this core group is to guarantee that this document has been reviewed in systematic detail.

 

Currently, we have 6 volunteers in this team, and we are seeking for 3 or 4 more.  In particular, we would like to have people with either PHY or security knowledge.

 

So I would like to call for additional volunteers for this team.  If you are interested, please inform Itzik (itzikk@runcom.co.il)  and/or me (jlabs@wavesat.com) by April 10.

 

Thanks,

Jon Labs
