[STDS-802-16] Comment 1 regarding draft 802.16 PARs



Folks,

Please note the comment below from EC Vice Chair Pat Thaler regarding the draft 802.16 PARs. She says:

"I think they should have a small difference in scope that indicates what part of the work is being done in that amendment".

We need to include a response to this (due Wed 5 pm).

Roger

Pat,

Yes, this is right. Two existing amendment PARs are being split because the base standard was split. This was noted in the announcement:
<http://ieee802.org/secmail/msg14123.html>

I'll bring your comment to the 802.16 WG for review.

Thanks,

Roger

If I recall correctly, those were for work that needed to amend both 802.16.1 and 802.16 so one standards effort needed two amendment PARs. However, I think they should have a small difference in scope that indicates what part of the work is being done in that amendment. E.g. when we needed an amendment to 802.1Q and 802.3 to do PFC, the scope for the 802.3 amendment specified that it was to add the MAC control frame for PFC.

All

Sorry about that, I finally got around to updating the page.

However, I am confused about Roger's PARs, perhaps he can explain them.

802.16.1b and 802.16p seem to cover the same scope.  Likewise,802.16.1a
and 802.16n are also the same scope.

I assume that what is really happening is that one PAR is replacing the
other, but then that doesn't make sense really either.

I notice that the PARs page  shows no PARs under consideration for
November, but I'm sure I have seen one or two whizz by on the exploder.
Does anyone have a definitive list?
