Re: [802SEC] 802.20 PAR for EC Approval in July
Mark,
The text says: "This amendment enhances the IEEE P802.20 Management
Information Base (MIB) objects and procedures to include functions
related to MIB security". The PAR also states that the purpose is
"primarily to define enhanced capabilities and procedures".
"include functions" sure sounds like functionality as does enhancing
objects and procedures. "enhanced capabilities and procedures" also is
functionality. In addition, the "other enhanced features under
consideration" leaves the scope pretty wide open. By the way, under
consideration now, later? - presumably before the PAR is done anyway -
rather odd wording when the scope normally is a statement that goes in
the finished standard. I would suggest rewording to something better
able to stand the test of time.
If the intent is to add security considerations, editorial improvements
such as cross references (i.e. REFERENCE entries) then the first
sentence of PAR scope and the purpose should be written to more clearly
reflect that.
Regards,
Pat

Pat,
It actually includes no new functionality. It enhances the MIB by
including a section discussing security considerations. The other
enhanced features refer to including REFERENCE entries for the objects
that will make it easier to find the descriptions.

Mark,
Where are the 5 criteria? Since this PAR says it intends to include new
functionality, those are required for pre-circulation along with the
PAR.
Also, could you explain "other enhanced features under consideration"?

Pat
