[802.19] FW: [802SEC] Comments on 802.15.4m PAR



All,

	We need to prepare some specific language for the 802.15.4m PAR to go with our comment #7, which was,

7.       In the Compatibility section of the 5C please include text as to how 802.15.4m will enhance compatibility with the upcoming 802.19.1 standard

	I would like to take a few minutes tomorrow morning during the TG1 meeting for us to prepare some specific language.

Thanks,
Steve
