Roger, my hat is off to you. Great job.
Mat, this is a good lesson that there is no such thing as a simple change. It is a good lesson for all of us about the amount of care and review we need to "improve" our documents.

Excellent point! Thanks. I'll include this on comment resolution.

I vote Disapprove.
The change would introduce inconsistencies in the document; even the document's many references to itself would be incorrect. These could be addressed by the following changes:
*Footer on each page changed from "LMSC OPERATING RULES" to "LMSC POLICIES AND PROCEDURES".
*In Clause 1, change "In the event of any conflict between these rules and..." to "In the event of any conflict between this document and..."
*Change title of Clause 3.6 from "Change of Rules" to "Change of Policies and Procedures".
*Change opening of Clause 3.6 from "These rules of the operation of the LMSC" to "These LMSC Policies and Procedures".
*Change title of 3.6.1 from "Initiation of Proposed Rules Changes" to "Initiation of Proposed Changes to LMSC Policies and Procedures"
*Change title of 3.6.2 from "Executive Committee Action on Proposed Rules Changes" to "Executive Committee Action on Proposed Changes to LMSC Policies and Procedures"
*In 3.6.1 and 3.6.5, change "LMSC Operating Rules" to "LMSC Policies and Procedures".
*In 3.6.1 (1b), strike the word "rule".
*In the last paragraph of 3.6.1, strike the word "rule".
*In the first line of 3.6.2, strike the word "rules".
*In the first line of 3.6.5, strike the word "rules".
*In the second sentence of the second paragraph of 3.6.5, strike the word "rules".
*In the third sentence of the second paragraph of 3.6.5, change "the rules" to "they".
*In the fourth sentence of the second paragraph of 3.6.5, strike "rules" and "rule".
*Change 5.1.4.6 from:
"If Working Group operation conflicts with the LMSC Operating Rules, then the LMSC Operating Rules shall take precedence."
to
"If Working Group operation conflicts with the LMSC Policies and Procedures, then the LMSC Policies and Procedures shall take precedence."
*In Condition 1 of Procedure 10, change "IEEE 802 Operating Rules" to "LMSC Policies and Procedures" and change "current IEEE 802 Operating Rule URL" to "current URL of the LMSC Policies and Procedures".
