Re: [STDS-802-16] [TGm] Session 58 contribution list



Avi,

 

In your spreadsheet you identify that contributions 1241, 1242 and 1243 have ‘Wrong identifier in the Re field’.

 

I do not believe the content of the Re: field in these contributions to be in error.

 

The Call for Contributions and Comments IEEE 802.16m-08/040 does not require nor specify specific content in the Re: field for contributions.

 

However, the 802.16 contribution template does require for the Re: field:

Cite the specific document number of the appropriate Call for Contributions, the ballot number, etc. Contributions that are not responsive to this section of the template, may be refused or assigned a low priority for review.

 

And the Re: field for these contributions identifies both the general topical area of concern for the material and the specific Call for Comments they address:

‘Re: MAC: Data/Control Plane; in response to the TGm Call for Contributions and Comments 802.16m-08/040 for Session 58’

 

Please note that IEEE is not required as part of the document name in the Re: field in order to disambiguate the document referenced, nor is it required by the IEEE.

 

Your identification that the Re: field is in error is itself, in error.

 

I would appreciate if we focus our efforts to enforce proper submittal formatting discipline to areas where the failure causes specific harm, rather than just nitpicking over minutiae the does not cause harm.

 

While I and the membership very much appreciate all of the effort you make to compile such useful compilation spreadsheet, forcing Members to re-submit contributions because they don’t put IEEE in front of the DCN in the Re: field is unnecessary and unproductive.

 

Thanks,

Phil

Dear all,

The list of contributions, received so far was uploaded to the temp directory: http://dot16.org/ul//upload/temp_db/TGmContributions58_Dallas_2008_11_04.xls

The lines with the red font are for those contributions that do not conform to IEEE 802.16 submission templates, or to the instructions in the relevant CfC. Authors, please correct and resubmit (and be careful to match the filename and revision number)

There are also contributions marked with red background:

Contribution C802.16m-08/1149:  This is a number used by another contributor, for another document in session 57. This creates a problem of a double number.

Contributions S802.16m-08/1259 and S802.16m-08/1260 are not the slide presentations of contributions C802.16m-08/1259 and C802.16m-08/1260 respectively, but rather independent contributions by other authors.

The files will be treated, as decided by Roger. Probably deleted from the upload directory.

 

Best Regards

 

Avi Freedman
