Vic, I am very concerned with the appropriateness of this letter. We had quite a go-around and discussion on whether the other two letters that IEEE 802 submitted to the FCC had gone through due-process and I believe we made significant progress by our inviting different parties to hear the responses before submission. In the end, I felt we had done our job properly. We still have concerned parties on the prior letters, with an appeal into the IEEE, and I do not know what the status of this is. The problem I have with the letter below: 1) I was not aware of the fact that the FCC had extended the response time for comments. Therefore in a previous note you sent me that there was no need to submit additional comments by the IEEE 802. I am concerned that interested parties may not have realized that this issue would be discussed at the 802 meeting. a) Was the discussion of this letter announced as part of your agenda for the 802.11 meeting and when. I probably missed it? 2) Your updated letter to the FCC is confusing. Do I understand correctly that the cover page will not actually be submitted? Therefore the clear definition of what is the RAHG Regulatory Ad Hoc group, how many members were in this group (I think five members - I'd like a list and their companies) to show some balence. I believe this should be included in the actual letter with the other tallies. 3) What more review does this letter need? Why does it need review by Council? We discussed this in the SEC meeting, and the summary was not clear on how council could modify an 802 letter. As I understand it, the letter, after we get it correct, will be circulated to IEEE-USA and IEEE-SA Staff for comment and review. 4) I would also send the letter, after you update per 2), to Steve Berger and Ian Gifford for forwarding to Bluetooth and HomeRF for information. I will be in Hawaii for the next four days, so you can call me at my room, or on my cellular phone. Can you call me at 9:00am on Monday?
