Re: [802SEC] +++ LMSC P&P Revision Ballot +++ Editorial



Carl,

Note that the difference you identify between a TAG and WG is called out
in the P&P, but is not always relevant for all uses of the term WG/TAG.
I would only modify the cases where this difference is not relevant.

I have added 'TG' to the Acronym list, but to save space, said it meant
either 'Task Group' or 'Task Force'.  Again, I could call out a
distinction, but currently I don't believe there is one (except in
name).

Mat and Bob ...

There is a distinct difference between a TAG and a WG ... TAGs may not
write
(full use) standards - only Recommended Practices and other "specialty"
documents within their chartered purview ...

Why would a task force be abbreviated "TG" ???

Agree with Bob ...

Agree with Bob ...
