Jim -
I believe that this is a job for the 802 LMSC Webmaster (presumably Bob
O'Hara these days) in collaboration with the 802.11 Webmaster. Currently,
the FRD is in HTML format, courtesy of Vic Hayes, and is located at:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/fureq6-8.html
which seems to be on the 802.11 website. Access to it from the 802 LMSC
website is via a weblink on the "802 Procedural Documents" page
(http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/devdocs.html), which in turn, is
reached from the 802 home page via a link marked "IEEE 802 Operating Rules
and Other Documents".
I believe what needs to be done is fairly simple, as follows:
1) Add a new link to the 802 home page, labelled "IEEE 802 archived and
obsolete documents", pointing to a new page created for this
purpose. Create the new page, with a suitable heading & an introductory
para indicating that the documents listed on the page are archived copies
of obsolete documents, which will be deleted after the archive period
indicated for each one.
2) Take a copy of the FRD from its current location on the 802.11 website,
and edit it to include the Exec motion at the top of the first page. Create
a link to this page on the new "IEEE 802 archived and obsolete documents"
page, indicating that the document will be archived for a period of 5
years, after which time it will be deleted.
3) Delete the link to the FRD from the existing "802 Procedural Documents"
page.
4) Delete the FRD page from the 802.11 website.
Regards,
Tony
