RE: +++ Press News Byte - 802.15
It seems to me that if the SEC is not to be a rubber stamp organization,
then voting on the approval of a press release after editorial changes
should imply that the words in the draft are essentially correct. This one
obviously requires a major rewrite. That is not editorial correction. The
electronic voting process allows us to see the changed text, have a new
vote, and still get a timely press release out.
Until I see a draft that is reasonably close to what we can feel
comfortable with , I vote NO.
Best regards.

Geoff,
I don't know, maybe I'm just a weirdo, but I certainly remember the
objectives for 802.15.1 very clearly, because they were roundly debated
during the PAR development process and were a central theme in deciding how
to place the resulting project (ie. the 802.11-Lite vs. 802.15-Bluetooth
debate). It also seems clear to me that the parenthetical statement refers
to all 3 of the objectives. So I'm having difficulty understanding your
reasons for a negative vote when the changes required appear to be purely
editorial. I trust Jim and Bob to come up with modifications to the text
that will address your concerns.
Am I the only one who feels this way ???
Thanx, Buzz
