        Bob Grow comments:
        Disapprove
         
        1.  The release confuses clear IEEE 802 branding.  It should not include any abbreviations that will confuse our standards customers between organizational groups and standards projects.  I find "task group 802.11T" and "IEEE 802.11t Task Group" as confusing.  While some of us identify our subgroups with the project name, I don't believe that is the case here.  The project is P802.11.2 and the group driving the project is IEEE 802.11 TG-T (or pick some other abbreviation that isn't like the name of a project).
         
        2.  Inconsistent placement of "P".  Early on, it is properly located (IEEE P802.11.2) but toward the end it is improperly located (PIEEE 802.11.2).  Correct the instances of the latter.
         
        3.  I believe the circle R is improperly used near the bottom of the release.  The committee is not a product, it is a group of people and registration marks are only applied to products. I note that marks are not applied to IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Standards Associations, we are no different!

        Disapprove.
         
        I support all of Bob Grow's comments on what is wrong with this press release, except for the use of 802.11t as the task group name.  The occurrence of "802.11T" should be replaced with "802.11t".  I also agree with the comment made by Carl Stevenson, as well, striking out specific text.
         
         -Bob
