Re: [STDS-802-16] Call for Reply Comments on IEEE 802.16m Sponsor Ballot second recirculation ballot



Junghoon,

 

I have given all of the support that, as anyone in leadership on IEEE matters, should give. I have directed you to the relevant ballot comments for attention. I have even specifically enumerated comments for special attention. For those comments that I have questioned their scope relevance in the current recirculation, commenters should expect the question to arise during comment resolution. The group will have to make determination at that time.

 

Since I will almost certainly be Chairing meetings where many of these comments will be resolved, I must maintain a degree of impartiality, of neutrality. So I will not attempt to inappropriately bias the group a priori of the actual comment resolution process in Taipei where we can have a frank interactive discussion on the disposition of comments.

 

Don’t ask me to go farther than I have already done, and I doubt that others in TGm leadership will be inclined either.

 

Of course Members are free to have frank discussions, including through the 802.16 reflector, on the merits of various comments and remedies. Members are not equally constrained as those in leadership.

Dear Phillip,

 

[[Phillip Barber]] You can find the comments that are ‘Part of a Disapprove Vote’ by Finding the comments marked with an X in the ‘Dis’ box in the commentary database. The ‘Dis’ box is immediately to the right of the comment ‘Type’ listbox on the Commentary form.

 

I’d appreciate the detailed explanation for finding out the important comments for the IEEE 802.16m TG needs to resolve in the upcoming meeting in Taiwan by having enough discussions.

 

Best Regards,

Junghoon

Junghoon,

 

Certainly Members should give every consideration and attention to comments marked as ‘Part of Disapprove Vote’ from Disapprove voters in the commentary database. There are a mere 22 comments marked as ‘Part of Disapprove Vote’, from only seven Disapprove voters. And the majority of those comments are from only two or three voters. I have little doubt that Members will give careful attention to these comments.

 

And, yes, each of the 22 comments (18 non-editorial, 4 editorial) marked as ‘Part of Disapprove Vote’ should be scrutinized by the Members to assure that the comments meet the recirculation scope requirements. 16m leadership will also be looking at scope for these comments. Some of the comments do not provide direction as to the rationale for their scope in the recirculation. I would draw Members’ attention to comments D012, D013, D014, D020, D024, D025, D026, D027, D029, D030. It may be that these comments meet one of the three criteria to be in scope of the recirculation, but they don’t specifically identify which criteria so they deserve evaluation.

JJ> Id appreciate your clarification and pointing out the comments that members need to pay attention.

[[Phillip Barber]] You can find the comments that are ‘Part of a Disapprove Vote’ by Finding the comments marked with an X in the ‘Dis’ box in the commentary database. The ‘Dis’ box is immediately to the right of the comment ‘Type’ listbox on the Commentary form.

 

Remember that even if a ‘Part of Disapprove Vote’ comment is determined to be out-of-scope of the recirculation the group may still choose to deal with the comment rather than just resolving it as out-of-scope of the recirculation; the group is not compelled to resolve the comment as out-of-scope. This can be useful when a comment may be out-of-scope but the group agrees on the need for the comment remedy anyway.

JJ> Sure, we should consider sponsors inputs as best as we can rather than categorizing them as out-of-scope.

 

Still, in our haste to address these important comments I would hate to see any lack of attention to the other 164 non-Editorial comments from Approve voters in the ballot. Almost certainly many of these comments are sincere attempts to make last-minute repair to problem areas in D10. We would do well to provide review and comment to get the best possible remedies prepared prior to the meeting comment resolution.

JJ> Definitely I agree with you! In principle, our major goal in this sponsor ballot is to improve the quality of the draft by the inputs from our sponsors.

 

Not to mention the need to align ASN.1 code to the text, including proper ASN.1 code for proposed Control Msg Format changes.

JJ> Agreed, they are the important ones need to be fixed in this round.

 

Members have two weeks to prepare their Reply Comments; ample time to do a thorough job.

Dear Phillip,

 

I have a suggestion to proceed the Call for Reply Comments step and the upcoming Taipei meeting more productively.

AFAIK, theres condition for a comment to be considered as a valid one not as an out-of-scope one in this round because we already achieved more than 75% approval in the previous recirc #3.

 

Let me refer the relevant parts from the clause 5.4.3.3 Comments in the ballot from IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual.

Once the proposed standard has achieved 75% approval, comments in subsequent ballots shall be based only on the changed portions of the balloted proposed standard, portions of the balloted proposed standard affected by the changes, or portions of the balloted proposed standard that are the subject of unresolved comments associated with Do Not Approve votes. If comments are not based on the above criteria, the comments may be deemed out-of-scope of the recirculation. Such comments need not be addressed in the current standards balloting process and may be considered for a future revision of the standard.

 

Therefore, I believe that we need to put high priority to resolve the following in-scope comments.

1)       Bottom line is the comments from the Sponsor Ballot members who disapproved in this recirc #4 and also comments from Sponsor Ballot members which are related with the subject of current disapproval voters unresolved comments.

2)       Comments about the changed portions from D9 to D10.

3)       Comments about portions of the balloted proposed standard affected by the changes from D9 to D10.

 

Therefore, I have following suggestions to move forward more productively.

1)       It would be great if IEEE 802.16m leadership can spend a time to go over the submitted comments whether we could give high priority.

2)       Allocate as much time as possible to hear from Sponsor Ballot members in the upcoming Taipei meeting so that we can move forward toward March completion.

 

Best Regards,

Junghoon
