RE: [802.21] Suggestions for Document Control Numbers in 802.21 WG
This would bring the document control numbering in line with the rules
that the 802.11/15 document server follows.
While adopting this format does not require you to start using the 11/15
document server, not adopting it does make it very difficult to
transition in the future.
For this reason, I think it probably is the best choice.

Subject: [802.21] Suggestions for Document Control Numbers in 802.21 WG
Ajay,
Document Control Number (DCN) system used by IEEE WGs provides members
with convenient means of searching, listing and retrieval of the group's
document. How about assigning similar DCNs for the
contributions/documents in 802.21 WG, of both the March meeting and
upcoming May meeting?
The followings are some useful resources for the generation of the DCN:
(1) IEEE 802
Reference: IEEE 802 LMSC Operating Rules
The format for the document numbers will be:
Either 802.na/Di-yy/m (formal draft standards)
Or 802.n{tg}-yy/m (all other documents & correspondence)
The document referenced above does not have a DCN
(2) IEEE 802.11
Reference: IEEE 802.11 WG Operating Rules, doc.: IEEE 802.11-00/331-r4
"doc: IEEE 802.11-yy/nn",
where yy are the last two digits of the year and nn are the digits of
the document number; revisions are indicated by addition at the end of
the text of '-r' followed by the revision number.
(3) IEEE 802.15
Reference: IEEE 802.15 WPAN Operating Rules
P802.15 uses the LMSC document numbering scheme.
Draft standards for 802.15 with have the format: "802.15/Di-yy/m" where
i is the Draft Revision Number, yy is the year produced, and m is a
sequential number assigned by the WG secretary or designee.
(4) IEEE 802.20
Reference: Draft 802.20 Operating Rules (V 0.1), doc 802.20-PD-01 v0.1
"doc: IEEE 802.20-yy/nn",
where yy are the last two digits of the year and nn are the digits of
the document number; revisions are indicated by addition at the end of
the text of "-r" followed by the revision number.
Based on above info, a recommended 802.21 document control number format
is as follows:
"doc.: IEEE 802.21-yy/nn[ri]"
where yy is the year produced, nn is a sequential assigned by the WG
secretary or designee, and ri is a revision designation. Brackets
indicate the field is only present if additional versions of the
document are produced.
