John,
Thanks. You bring up a good point about 802.19 now being explicitly mentioned in the P&P. I never thought about the uniqueness of that. Our primary goal was to get each WG to produce a CA documents. The 802.19 TAG got written into the P&P based on Roger’s suggestion that we use the balloting process for 802.19 to comment on the CA document. We liked Roger’s suggestion so we adopted it. So even though it is unique I believe it is the right thing to do.

I approve, though with some reservation (if that is possible :-) I note that this procedure will be the only time a TAG is "written into law" in our P&P. No other WG/TAG is mentioned by name in the entire P&P (802.1 is mentioned as the architecture standard, but not as a WG). 802.19 not only is codified in this way, it also is given rights and responsibilities unlike any other WG/TAG. This is a significant precedent. I am, however, persuaded by the argument that co-existence is of such paramount importance (if 802 wireless standards are to remain relevant) that it deserves it's own watchdog group. And if the way to go about this is to institutionalize 802.19 via this procedure, then it's the right thing to do. If it all goes wrong, we can always change the P&P again... I would also support Paul's wording recommendations. I understand Roger's concerns about ambiguity, but would defer to 802.19 to implement a more clear set of policies, recommended practices and guidelines (as is their charter) that would address how a CA doc should be judged. Thanks,
