Comments on 802 PARs
· 802.16m: J Gilb (15-06-472-00): James commented that this is a PAR to make another standard an IEEE standard but included very little scope. J Gilb moved that:
o The chair (or acting chair) will forward the following comments on the 802.16m PAR by the deadline for comments on behalf of the 802.15 WG:
§ The scope of the PAR overlaps with 802.15.3c, which also should be mentioned in the 5C
§ The scope is overly broad. The scope needs to be written to reflect a focus on a particular need.
§ The changes required are significant and so the PAR should be withdrawn, revised and submitted for the March Plenary meeting.
This motion was seconded by B Herold.
Due to a suggestion from Erik Schylander the motion was amended to:
o The chair (or acting chair) will forward the following comments on the 802.16m PAR by the deadline for comments on behalf of the 802.15 WG:
§ The scope of the PAR may overlap with the 802.15.3c PAR, which also should be mentioned in the 5C
§ The scope is overly broad. The scope needs to be written to reflect a focus on a particular need.
§ The changes required are significant and so the PAR should be withdrawn, revised and submitted for the March Plenary meeting.
o The vote was: 44/0/0, the motion carries
