I vote disapproved because of the text "However, the provision of additional ciphers may enhance 802.22’s ability to address special use

cases and will provide alternatives as the default cipher is compromised in the future."

"As the default cipher is compromised in the future" appears to assume that the default cipher will be compromised in the future. Of course in the long run that can happen to any cipher eventually, but we don't anticipate the default cipher having any particular weakness there. Geoff's suggested alternative text would be acceptable:

"However, the provision of additional ciphers may enhance 802.22’s ability to address special use cases or specific national or future market needs."

I don't agree with Geoff's other comment. The text in the draft response is consistent with what we have responded in the past and it should remain as it responds to the comment characterizing 802.1X as defective.

Dear All,

During the IEEE 802 November 2017 Plenary meeting, we had tabled this motion to send the IEEE 802.22b response to the ISO/IEC/JTC1 due to lack of appropriate words for the response.

The EC did not like the words as were discussed and suggested in the ISO/JTC1 Standing committee.

After discussions with Andrew Myles, we have agreed to a slight change in the response to the comment made by the China NB.

Note – The 802.22b-2015 Draft has been approved to be an ISO Standard. So this response is being sent to them as a courtesy.

I am attaching the original EC motions package, and the Draft Response document with marked up text that highlights what changed.

Paul approves starting an EC e-mail ballot and Steve has re-agreed to second the motion.

Motion:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EC Approves the IEEE Std. 802.22b-2015 Comment Resolutions Responses for the FDIS Ballots as contained in Document:

Early close: As required in subclause 4.1.2 'Voting rules' of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations Manual, this is notice that, to ensure the release is provided in a timely manner, this ballot may close early once sufficient responses are received to clearly decide a matter. Sufficient responses to clearly decide this matter will be based on the required majority for a motion under subclause 7.1.1 'Actions requiring approval by a majority vote' item (h), 'Other motions brought to the floor by members (when deemed in order by the Sponsor Chair)' of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Policies and Procedures.
