The ballot closed on Monday.
The comment resolution committee is scheduled to meet on Wednesday
(tomorrow).
The working group will consider motions to request the EC to forward
to RevCom during
the interim session Jan 14-19, probably Jan 17th. I will ask Paul
for permission to run an EC
ballot with early close to meet the 26 Jan RevCom submission
deadline. If necessary, I will
ask Paul for permission to pre-submit prior to reaching that
approval. I don't anticipate any
issues with this project as it has proved remarkably free of
controversy.
The comment complained that we had not provided a draft redline.
While it is our custom,
and was our intention to provide a redline, this was overlooked in
setting up the recirculation.
We did, however, meet the requirements of the SASB OM:
"5.4.3.4 Recirculation ballots Changes may be made to the proposed
standard in response to comments or for other reasons. All substantive changes made since the last ballot of the
proposed standard shall be identified and recirculated to the Sponsor balloting group. ... " (my
emphasis)
All substantive changes were identified in a comment resolution
spreadsheet that accompanied the
ballot package.
I hope this answers your questions.
The second recirculation ballot of P802.11ak completed.
In September, 802.11 re-ordered 802.11aj, 802.11ak and
802.11aq in that order, so 802.11ak is dependent on
802.11aj.
802.11aj satisfied the terms of its November 802 EC
approval, and is on the January NesCom telecon agenda.
This ballot resulted in a single non-MBS comment from an
approve voter.
