Paul Nikolich,
C/LM has some standards that are due for a 5-year maintenance action by
the end of 2011. In accordance with the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations
Manual, Section 9, standards are approved for five years and the Sponsor
is required to take a maintenance action by the end of that period. The
following are your options:
a) reaffirm
b) revise
c) stabilize
d) extend
e) withdraw
You can find more information about these options at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/opman/sect9.html
Please notify me of your intended action by 17 October 2011, the
submittal deadline for the December 2011 Standards Board Meeting Series.
If I do not receive a response, the standards in question will be placed
on the agenda for administrative withdrawal.
If the Sponsor chooses to revise, reaffirm, or stabilize the standard but
will not be able to complete the process by the October submittal deadline,
please send me an email to a) request an extension of the existing standard
and b) provide information about the actions that are being taken. Please
also provide estimates for when the reaffirmation will be submitted or,
in case of revision, when the PAR will be submitted and when you anticipate
completing the revision project.
If there is no further interest in a standard and the Sponsor wishes it
to be withdrawn, no ballot is required. The standard will be administratively
withdrawn in December 2011. (Please notify me if the Sponsor decides that
a standard should be withdrawn. Also, please note that standards that have
been administratively withdrawn can no longer be reinstated via reaffirmation.
In order to reinstate an administratively withdrawn standard, a PAR has
to be submitted.)
The standards in question are:
...
802.16/Conformance04-2006
IEEE Standard for Conformance to IEEE 802.16 - Part 4: Protocol Implementation
Conformance Statement (PICS) Proforma for Frequencies below 11 GHz
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
