Re: [802.21] Deadline for comments/submissions for March 2006 Plenary
Srini,
This process is no different than the one which we had been following
for the past few sessions. The only change is that this time we set the
deadline for comments and replies three weeks before the f2f session
(instead of 1 week), so that we get some more time to discuss the
comments and build concensus.
I would not call it an "internal ballot" since "ballot" has a certain
connotation, which is not implied here. This is open to the whole .21
community and not just voting members.
I would agree that typically the hope would be that with more time we
would get more comments. I would also agree that it would be desirable
to get all issues on the current state of the draft pointed out at any
time. In that case, we could keep an open bin such as a "todo" list of
issues and get to discussing it once we exhaust the whole list of active
comments. Submissions that are not directly changing specific text in
the current draft could still be submitted a week in advance (Feb 27, 2006).
Let me know if this resolves your concerns.
Regards,
-ajay
