RE: [802.21] Requirements Document v8
All,
I am now leaving on vacation and just have time to say that I agree with Stephen and Yogesh. Let's concentrate on what it takes to obtain a quality standard with a clear procedure involving milestones, more precision in phased requirements documents and collaboration on agreeing scope with the other 802 activities (especially 802.11 WIEN).
Regards,
Alistair

Hi Stephen,
I am sure that you are not suggesting that working on something quickly is a not a good thing! Just because we are a standards group should not make it a multi-year activity for each document.
Based on the input so far, I am hoping that we can work out the remaining details towards the requirements in short order, without imposing deadlines.
best regards,
