[802SEC] 802.15 Maintenance PARs

[Bob Heile <bheile@ieee.org>]

Greetings all-

802.15 has 2 maintenance PARs it is submitting under the 48 hour rule for 
review and approval on Friday to send to NesCom.

The first is a title change for the 802.15.7REVa revision PAR.  The title 
is currently listed as "Standard for Short Range Wireless Optical 
Communications"  The industry routinely refers to efforts in the space as 
Optical Wireless Communications (OWC). Since the Tille of the PAR becomes 
the title of the standard, this PAR requests a title change to "Standard 
for Short Range Optical Wireless Communications" to better align with 
industry practice and expectation.

The second is a one year PAR extension for 802.15.8.  This project is 
currently in WG letter ballot but will not be able to complete everything 
by the end of the year when the current PAR expires.  The current project 
timeline calls for starting Sponsor Ballot in December and submitting to 
RevCom in May 2016.

A copy of both Maintenance PARs is attached. Please let me know if you have 
questions or comments.

Regards

Bob
