Dear 802.16 Fans,
The 802 EC, on Friday 18 July, approved all of the motions that
802.16 put forward. It also approved the liaison statements that were
developed in 802.16 and endorsed by the 802.18 TAG. I've posted a
table of results:

In summary, the outcome was a great example of dligence, hard work,
and consensus building all-around:
*P802.16Rev2 has been granted conditional approval to move to Sponsor
Ballot, following a final 15-day confirmation ballot in the Working
Group. The WG Letter Ballot results stand at 284 Approve, with 1
Disapprove. The single remaining Disapprove voter could not be
reached for a response. Congratulations to the Maintenance TG, and
thanks to Chair Jonathan Labs for an outstanding effort. Thanks also
to other members - including John Humbert, Jose Puthenkulam, and
Phillip Barber, among others - who helped to contact the voters and
prepare the documentation.
*P802.16j has also been granted conditional approval to move to
Sponsor Ballot, following a final 15-day confirmation ballot in the
Working Group. The WG Letter Ballot closed with 206 Approve and no
unresolved Disapprove comments. Congratulations to the License-Exempt
TG, and thanks to Chair Mitsuo Nohara for an outstanding effort.
Thanks also to other members - including Mike Hart, Jung Je Son, and
Peiying Zhu - who helped to contact the voters and prepare the
documentation.
*P802.16h has been granted unconditional approval to move to Sponsor
Ballot. The WG Letter Ballot results stand at 287 Approve, with only
1 member voting Disapprove with comment. Congratulations to the Relay
TG, and thanks to Chair Mariana Goldhamer and the rest of the TG for
an outstanding effort. The 802 EC also agreed to forward a request
for a one-year PAR extension in case Sponsor Ballot cannot be
concluded before the current PAR expires.
The five liaison statements - four to ITU and one to the ECC - that
were approved by the 802 EC were all approved by the 802 EC.
Congratulations and thanks to the ITU Liaison Group, chaired by José
Costa.
We will be following up to ensure that all of the documentation moves
forward as authorized.
