[802SEC] RE: Draft SOW for P&P revision support from SA
Hi Everyone,
I received little comment on this SOW. The only comments I received were from Howard Frazier. (Thank you Howard for the very useful comments). Howard's main point was that rather than completing the process in 2 plenary cycles, I should slow the process down a bit to allow more time for comment by the EC. I agree with Howard point, and started recrafting the SOW to take 3 plenary cycles to complete based on Howard guidance. The new process would first ballot a draft which aligns the LMSC P&P with the model P&P, both in format and content. That is it would add anything from the model P&P that ours is currently missing and reformat our document while maintaining it's content. Later, a second ballot would be held on additional changes to streamline our P&P, etc. The one issue I have with this is that we really should wait for the first ballot to compete before drafting the "streamlined" the P&P. By this I mean removing any content that is already covered in or conflicts!
with other documents with precedence over our own. If we wait for the first ballot to complete before editing, it means we can't initiate the second ballot until the following plenary. Thus it will take 4 plenary cycle to compete the project. This seems a bit much to me, but to do otherwise would require editing the second draft while the first one is still being balloted. I'm not sure this is a good idea, so I want to poll the EC.
How long should the P&P update process take? 2 cycles, 3 cycles or 4 cycles?
Please let me know your opinions.
I plan to provide the draft document I already circulated to the EC informally to SA (with clear indication that it is not an 802 approved document and is purely for comment) so that I can get their inputs as well. I will also inform them of Howard suggestions. I will do this all tomorrow night unless I hear anyone on the EC object prior to that time.
Thanks,
Mat

The primary goal is get our P&P reformatted along the lines of the model P&P, make sure it doesn't have any holes or fatal conflicts with documents having precedence over our own, and arrange for possible ongoing support to clear the back log of the many P&P changes people want to try.

However, I would like to pass something to the SA for comment well prior to the March meeting, so that hopefully a full consensus can be reached between us and SA at the March meeting. If you have any critical comments, please get them to me within the next week so I can incorporate you comments into this document before I "formally" informally pass it to the SA to comment on. I suppose posting the document on this reflector makes them aware of it anyway.
