We really look forward to your feedback and thank you for taking the
time to review this draft.

This is the next big milestone in the process for this WG and we shall
see how things go based on comments etc. we receive from different folks
and through the review process. Hopefully we can build on the momentum
of last phase of harmonization and keep making progress. For now we need
your feedback and comments, so that we can address them now, rather than
later.

The feedback should probably be presented as a contribution and if there
are technical comments, then those should likely be discussed during WG
meetings. Editorial type comments can be handled directly to the Editor.

Not sure about this one.

For .11 and .16 my expectations are we need to submit documents with
well articulated requirements and initial recommendations for specific
amendments based on discussions within our group. Expect that to happen
no later than the meeting in September. For other groups we can discuss
that further.

Not sure what is being asked for here. I have currently seen no
proposals to create further TGs within 802.21 (though that could change
with 802.1AM or even otherwise). As for working on current draft I am
not sure if there are any proposals or even a need to create any formal
task groups or teams as such, though I would think that folks are
welcome to work in groups on their own and present joint contributions.
We did that quite well during proposal stage.

Would let the Chairs respond to this.

I am pretty sure these shall be discussed and above are just my opinions
and some comments, given that there have not been that many responses to
this.
Again, thanx for your questions and comments.
