RE: [RPRWG] Opening of 802.17 WG Recirculation Ballot on P802.17a D1.1



Title: RE: [RPRWG] Opening of 802.17 WG Recirculation Ballot on P802.17a D1.1

Just a small correction: the 802.17 links Mike provides are not quite right. The correct ones are as follows:

For the Draft 1.1 page (including the draft) use:
http://www.ieee802.org/17/member/802_17a/d1_1/

For the ballot/comment executable with instructions use: http://www.ieee802.org/17/member/802_17a/d1_1/P802_17aD1_1_CRD_Windows.zip


Thanks,

john

Comments are welcome from other reviewers. You should also be aware that
Technical-Binding (TB) comments are not required to be tracked amongst
non-Working Group members. If a TB is entered by a person who is not a
Working Group member, and this person is not at attendance and readily
available at the interim meeting to review the Working Group's response, we will not obligate the editors or staff of 802.17 to track down the

commenter and obtain the sign-off.

Best Regards,
