Draft 7.0 Recirculation Discussion
Osama outlined the options for the group to forward the draft to Revcom. The next Revcom meeting is scheduled for December 2013 with October 21 as the deadline for including the draft on the agenda. Failure to meet this date will result in a delay till March 2014.
Two reasons contributing to changing the original plan. First, early consideration in January is not an option since staff has cancelled the meeting. Second 2nd recirculation letter ballot has resulted in a small number of comments submitted that can be resolved in a short time frame than anticipated.
Robert supported the need to meet October 21 deadline and added clarifications.
Eldad indicated the benefits of having a published AC draft during the update process of the ITU-R document M.1450 on, “Characteristics of Broadband Radio Local Area Networks” which is planned to start on December 2013 and likely to continue till Feb-March 2014.
Comment Discussion and Resolution
The group completed the resolution of all comments submitted on draft D7.0. Hongyuan decided to withdraw his comment, CID 12004.
The result of the comment resolution is available in document;
