Re: [802SEC] let's sell the approved 802.16 draft+=Response++
Hello Roger:
I talked to Markus Plessel and unfortunately the draft is posted, but is
not showing on the catalog due to some problems that took place during
system upgrades.
This is a one time incident since the people responsible for fixing these
problems in the IT Dept., are on vacation this week. We apologize for the
inconveniences this may be causing.
The good news is that if you call Customer Service at the information
below, you will be able to order the draft. Therefore, we would recommend
to put a temporary link in your web site to the following information:
IEEE Customer Service

+1 732 981 0060 (outside of the US and Canada)
FAX:

E-MAIL: customer.service@ieee.org
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and reiterate our

Angela,
Thanks for your note last week. I appreciate you looking into this
and trying to get it fixed by today. However, the web site still says
"Product No Longer Available", and I continue to field complaints
from people who can't buy it.
I don't really understand the position "an approved draft supersedes
an older version". If a draft is approved, then it IS the most recent
version, and will remain so until publication.
Thanks for trying to solve the problem in this case. I hope it can be
solved more generally.
Roger
