[STDS-802-16] guidance on unofficial participation in IEEE-SA Sponsor Ballot for P802.16h, P802.16j, and P802.16Rev2
Folks,
As noted in the Session #56 Report <http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg56/report.html
>, the Working Group currently has three drafts in IEEE-SA Sponsor
Ballot. This note provides guidance should you wish to participate and
are not a member of the Sponsor Ballot Group or wish to use an
alternative to the official comment submittal process.
The three drafts, and the Sponsor Ballot deadlines, are:
*P802.16h/D7a (deadline: 5 Sept)
*P802.16j/D6a (deadline: 10 Sept)
*P802.16Rev2/D6a (deadline: 11 Sept)
In each case, the draft numbered with the letter "a" is an editorial
markup of the final draft through WG Letter Ballot. In each case, the
"a" versions include some PDF comments on a few pages, based on
editorial requirements from IEEE-SA staff, with no change to the page
layout (including page and line numbers).
If you are a member of the Sponsor Ballot Group for any of these
drafts, you should have already been provided with instructions on
participating using IEEE-SA's myBallot system. You may enter your
comments individually through the myBallot web page, or you may upload
a group of comments using IEEE-SA's specified XLS, CSV, or XML
templates. When the ballot closes, all of these comments will be
automatically transferred into Commentary format for WG review and
resolution. We will be providing an opportunity for reply comments
prior to Session #57.
If you are not a member of the Sponsor Ballot Group, you are not
entitled to vote. However, you may submit comments. These should be
prepared in Commentary using the appropriate "Ballot ID" and submitted
to the appropriate 802.16 upload directory <http://upload.wirelessman.org
>. The Ballot ID and upload directory are as follows:
*P802.16h: "sb_16h"
*P802.16j: "sb_16j"
*P802.16Rev2: "sb_16Rev2"
Sponsor Ballot Group members may also submit comments in Commentary
according to this procedure. However, please be aware that no comments
uploaded to the WG upload directories will be considered as part of a
Disapprove vote. For any comment to be considered as a valid element
of a DISAPPROVE VOTE, the comment must be entered into the myBallot
database by the voter!
Finally, if necessary, your comments may refer to an uploaded
contribution document. Contributions must follow the usual WG
submission procedures <http://ieee802.org/16/submit.html>. In order to
ensure that all parties to the Sponsor Ballot are explicitly aware of
your contribution and where to find it, it is essential that you refer
to it properly, by document number (not by file name) in your comment.
Upload your contribution to the appropriate upload directory:
*P802.16h: "LE"
*P802.16j: "Relay"
*P802.16Rev2: "Maint"
