Re: [802SEC] +++ 10-day EC Email Ballot +++ Letter to the Indian regulator regarding use of TV white space spectrum
Roger,
Sending it as an IEEE 802 letter seems fine. The letter could be signed by Paul and Apurva since it was 802.22 that originally had the opportunity to address the Indian regulator. Or it could be signed by Paul alone. I've asked Paul and he is okay with the former. Are you?
Regards,
Mike

Mike,
As you know, I supported this document as a letter from 802.18. I'm not opposed in principle to having it be issued from IEEE 802. I understand that the motion is to approve it per OM 9.2.1 (Procedure for Communication with Government Bodies/IEEE 802 Communications).
In order to meet the terms of 9.2.1, I believe that the letter needs to be formatted differently so as to "be issued by the LMSC Chair as the view of IEEE 802." I believe this falls under the "necessary editorial and formatting changes" authorization of the motion. Still, I'd prefer to see the revised form of the letter before I cast a vote. Can you accommodate this request?
Roger

In India the spectrum under consideration is the 470 - 698 MHz frequency band.
