Re: [802SEC] ++++ EC ballot on press release regarding publication of 802.11-2012 ++++

I vote approve, but I may have an editorial comment (if not already made).

The initial publication of 802.11 was in 1997.  I have a paper copy of 
it and an electronic copy was distributed with our 2012 Standards CD in 
the archive sub-directory.

Accordingly, shouldn't "IEEE 802.11-2012 is the third revision of the 
standard to be released since its initial publication in 1999."
instead read:
"IEEE 802.11-2012 is the third revision of the standard to be released 
since its initial publication in 1997."

1999 was the publication date of the first revision, but I would think 
that most people would say the "initial publication" was when the 
standard was first published.

IMHO.
