Re: [802SEC] BOG Items of Interest to 802
This gets interesting. I now have opposing directions from two
bodies.
802.3 directed me to vote against approval of Std 802 with clause 5 removed.
The BoG directed me to vote for approval of Std 802 with clause 5 removed.
Considering the relative size of the 802.3 WG vs the BorG, I am more worried
about being beat up by dot3, so I will follow their direction.
