[802.3_DIALOG] P802.3cx preview

Steve:

Upon receiving David's anouncement of the P802.3cx preview, I took another look at your draft.  I noted you might have a problem if not fixed before the September 802.3 WG interim.  From the 802.3 WG Ops Man:

2.6.2 Draft Standard Balloting Requirements 

Before a draft is submitted to WG letter ballot it shall in addition have met the following requirements:

  1. a)  It must be complete with no open technical issues.

  2. b)  It must be made available for pre-view by the membership at least 10 days prior to the Working Group meeting where the draft will be considered. If any changes are made to the draft after it was made available for pre-view, the changes shall be presented for review prior to the vote for approval to go to WG ballot. 

    ...
1.  I searched on TBD and got 5 hits.  Please add an abstract and keywords (even though these arguably are not open technical issues), and look at your clause 1 TBDs and either provide content, or remove the subclauses if you have determined that there are not new normative references, definitions or acronyms.  

2.  Though not a technical completeness issue, why is so much of your clause 30 content just a copy of existing text (pages 19 to 28)?  A cursory scan turned up no changes, and I assume the absence of editing instructions means there is no change on those pages.

3.  The editorial note on page 28 is an indication that the draft is not technically complete as required by 802.3 rules.

4.  Arguable if technical completeness, but there is no editorial instruction to insert Annex 90A. 

5.  Not technical completeness (and I personally like an editor pointing at where they want additional thought), but the editorial note on page 73 might stimulate argument about technical completeness, though it indicates the possible figures would be additional explanatory content rather than providing missing technical specifications.

6.  Similar to #5, the editorial note on page 79 might generate discussion.
