RE: [802SEC] +++ SEC Ballot: Forward IEEE 802.15.1 to Sponsor Ballot
I have to disapprove the motion to forward the 802.15.1 draft to sponsor
ballot.
In addition to supporting Bob O'Hara's and Roger Marks views, I have 2
additional concerns:
1. the comment resolution file is too complicated for comprehending what the
disposition
of the comments is
The standard companion writes for recirculation ballots "Copies of
the outstanding
negatives and the ballot review committee's responses to them with
the reasons
for rejecting the proposed changes"
The actual file received is a trail many recirculation ballots. This
is fine for the
archive of the work. However, a reviewer for recirculation ballots
needs to get a
clear and simple representation of the outstanding negatives.
The file presented as the file with unresolved negatives does not
have a tab
with "unresolved negatives". Taking the LB10 Comments as such a
representation,
one have to make too many assumptions to understand the effects of
two columns
with codes. Some of the comments are depicted as Accepted and Open.
Does
that mean that the comment is accepted and the resulting edits have
not yet
been included in the draft?
2. it appears to me that the draft going into Sponsor Ballot is a moving
target
The comments marked as Accepted and Open, gives me the impression
that
results of the comments are still to be made in the a future cycle.
LB 10 comment number 9 has the following Editor's note:
Editor Note: ICG the Editor-in-Chief will submit a comment in
Sponsor Ballot
and submit a Bluetooth errata too that explicitly identifies the
word usage in
question both in the Std and the Spec - using each organizations
unique
paragraph referencing in their source documents - the BRC will
resolve this
comment prior to the completion of the Sponsor Ballot phase.
Does "prior to the completion of the Sponsor Ballot phase" mean that
during
Sponsor Ballot, comments from Working Group Ballots are introduced
into the
draft?
I appreciate that the synchronization of two organizations is difficult. The
resulting time, needed to synchronize need to be taken, rather than starting
a ballot with pending changes.
