Hi Matt, LMSC was an abbreviation for Lockheed Missiles & Space
Company.
I know this because my stepfather worked for them for years. I
suspect it
is now a defunct designation given the evolution of Lockheed, just
as BDSG,
which was a trademark for the Boeing Defense and Space Group, is now
defunct. Matt, I would suggest that you do a global Search and
Replace of
LMSC with IEEE-802 and then let IEEE ask their legal department if
they
think using LMSC in the future will be a problem for us. I
sincerely doubt
it but it is probably worth getting an official determination just
to be
safe. :-)
Thanx, Buzz

Todd,
I'm not a lawyer, but we have been using LMSC for as long as I can
remember.
I think things are context sensitive, and perhaps it could be argued
that
our context is different enough from Lockheed's, but I'd prefer not to
venture an opinion.
One thing I will say is that in my editing instructions (not part of
the
documents) I encouraged the use of IEEE 802 rather than LMSC just for
consistency. But old habits die hard, and clearly I've been slipping
backwards a bit. I guess this would be one more reason to favor
IEEE 802
over LMSC for a title and I will once more endeavor to do so...
Thanks,
Mat

James,
Attached please find an updated LMSC Operations Manual and a new LMSC
Working Group Policies and Procedure for posting.
All,
For reference, I have taken the documents approved last week and done
purely formatting changes to make them appropriate for posting. The
one
non-editorial change was in the section of the OM on directed
positions.
There was one broken link I missed that would have pointed to a
section
moved to the new WG P&P. For now, I have deleted the pointer (it
does not
change any of the meanings). We can add it back later if desired.
For reference I have created rev's 1 and 2 of documents EC 09-006 and
09-007 (the LMSC OM and LMSC WG P&P balloted). Rev 1 includes the
formatting and editorial changes I performed for reference in
revisions
mode. Rev 2 is a clean (final) version of each document.
I still need to finish formatting clean-up of the LMSC P&P and
forward
that to AudCom for posting. I plan to complete that later today.
The changes for the LMSC WG P&P were big and messy. Hopefully we
are now
past the phase of massive changes and can now focus on smaller
targeted
changes to improve our operations. For my own benefit, I plan to
start work
on a LMSC OM revision to fix minor editorial issues, and simplify
the LMSC
OM revision process (make it the same as the LMSC P&P except that it
can be
changed more than once a year). During the March Plenary I will be
accepting other EC members personal pet peeves (as long as the changes
aren't too massive) for inclusion in a catch all rev to the LMSC OM
that I
am willing to run. Please don't send your desired changes now as
I'd prefer
not to stock pile at this point. At the end of the March Plenary I
plan to
initiate another LMSC OM revision for the catch all changes.
Regards to all,
Mat
Mat LMSC is a registered trademark of Lockheed a tech company as I
recall - did anyone think about this?
