Re: [802SEC] +++ECM: Formation of new IEEE 802.3 Study Groups press release

I approve.

In a related note, we really should have a single sentence tag line for 
802 in these (and related) documents.

For example, "IEEE 802 is the leading Layer 1 and 2 networking standards 
development organization in the world."  or "IEEE 802 is the world 
leader in developing wired and wireless standards for Internet connectivity"

Both are pretty bad, but they gives the idea.  Discuss amongst yourselves.

PS: Yes, I know we need to be careful to differentiate ourselves from 
IETF and not claim to do what they do.

PS2: Yes, other organizations (e.g., ITU, 3GPP) may also want to claim 
to be the world leaders, so we need to be sensitive to that as well.
