Re: [802SEC] Ballot Closed - RE: +++urgent+++10 day ECM+++ Approval of OfCom Improving access to 5GHz band Consultation responses, filing due 22 July, 2016

Jay
I agree with Roger's concern and strongly support the addition of the text that Geoff and Roger worked out.
As Roger mentioned, there are editorial issues that should be corrected prior to submission (we have plenty of time).
Slide 6: "It should be noted, that this band is already open for RLAN use, many regions of the world and large markets." should probably be "It should be noted, that this band is already open for RLAN use in many regions of the world."
Slide 6: "The entry into the spectrum dominated by Wi-Fi for 20 years, of other technologies, even if they share fairly, reduces the already congested space by at least 50%, making the need for additional spectrum real and urgent." is poorly written. It would be better as: "The entry of other technologies into the spectrum dominated by Wi-Fi for 20 years, even if they share fairly, reduces the already congested space by at least 50%. This makes the need for additional spectrum real and urgent."
Slide 8: "Our answer to question 1. makes our opinion clear on the need for additional spectrum." Doesn't come across well. I would suggest "IEEE 802, as stated in the answer to question 1, agrees with the need for additional spectrum."
Slide 9: "The trend in new Internet connected devices is only wireless connectivity." as pointed out in the email trail, this is not the only trend for these devices. The correct way to state this is "One trend in new Internet connected devices is the increasing use of wireless connectivity."
Slide 10: Too late to fix this now, but the slide does not answer the second questions request for evidence.
Slide 11: The last question "What difference in speeds and quality of experience would additional spectrum make?" was not answered. It would have been good to add a comment regarding how much additional capacity would be opened up by adding the new bands.
Slide 12: "BW" is informal and not introduced as an acronym. Change "BW" to be "bandwidth" in two locations. Put a space in "5GHz" and "160MHz" (numbers are separated from a unit with a space).

Dear EC,
On behave of Rich and myself, I would like to thank everyone for voting so quickly.



In accordance with 4.1.2 'Electronic Balloting' of the IEEE project 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (LMSC) Operations Manual there is sufficient response to decide this ballot and early termination as pre-announced.  Therefore the ballot is closed.



Please see below for results of the ballot, and per the results “Motion passes”.

We do appreciate the inputs Roger, Geoff, Bob and others provided, and I have heard from Rich and we should be able to get them in as editorial changes.  After that we will work with Paul with the upload to Ofcom.

I also want to thank Adrian and JohnN for all the background help they provided me, being my first EC ballot.

Best Regards,
Jay Holcomb
