Re: [802SEC] Fwd: [STDS-WG-CHAIRS] IEEE-SA Policy and Procedures (P&P) Changes - January 2018 - Important - Please read

Thanks Adrian for pointing this out.

For clarification, would it be safe to define "non-trivial" as an amendment or revision that does NOT alter the format or content of an address field?  For example an amendment that added only new PHY capabilities but had no MAC changes (which might not otherwise be considered trivial), or a an amendment with additional MAC features that do not alter in any way the addressing fields (e.g. add Information Elements but no new frame formats).?

Or should we just always assume "yes" and let the RAC know, just to be safe?

Thanks.

Ben

Dear EC members, 

Please be aware of the changes to the IEEE-SA P&P's:   http://standards.ieee.org/develop/policies/policy_rev.pdf.

One of the items that has been clarified in my mind is the need for any project that cites/includes a field whose values
are managed by the IEEE RA to indicate "yes" in its PAR for RAC coordination.   As all of our L2 protocols (AFAIK)
use MAC addresses within of the RAC-defined namespaces,  this should be "yes" for all non-trivial amendments
and revisions.
