  6. Process for Draft D3.00 • D3.00 • The 492 approved technical resolutions (87 A, 294 C, 111 R) were edited into the draft • “blueline” and “redline” versions of the draft were produced • Continuous Review • A review panel of volunteers dailey checked resolutions/edit notes against the working draft D3.00 and reported any defects of editing • A total of 86 defects were reported (282) • Many of the defects related to coloring of inserted/deleted tables in the redline version • D3.00 • The defects were continously addressed by editing the TGn draft and updating the comment resolutions/edit notes • Draft 3.00 was released to ballot and the edit notes in 11-07-0336 were published in early October Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  7. Technical comments only, excluding widthdrawn and duplicate comments Reflects contents of LB97 comments in 11-07-2687-01-000n-tgn-lb115-consolidated-comments.xls Years Months EI EM EN (blank) Grand Total 2007 May 161 33 140 70 404 Jul 94 38 463 181 776 Sep 107 69 205 111 492 Grand Total 362 140 808 362 1672 Edit status of LB97 comments Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  8. “Old” / “New” Comment conventions • Comments for both LB97 and LB115 are kept in the same database tool so that ad-hoc chairs have ready access to “old” resolutions • Comments for LB115 have CID >= 5000 • Comments “flags” (i.e. (#1234)) for both LB97 and LB115 will be shown the same way in the draft. Use the CID number to determine if a flag is “old” (<5000) or “new”. • LB115 Spreadsheets published by the ad-hocs/editor will not include “old” (LB97) comments. • Old comments are there for reference only. There will be no modification of old comment resolutions and no republishing of old comment resolution spreadsheets. • IMPORTANT: There is no need to update old resolutions, even if new resolutions directly contradict old ones. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  12. Note on treatment of comments • TGn are performing “Working Group recirculation” • At the end of this process a “package” of data is presented to the 802 executive committee in support of a motion to move to sponsor ballot • “Copies of all unresolved negative votes, together with the reasons given by the negative voters and the rebuttals by the Sponsor, shall be included with the ballot results submitted to RevCom. Copies of the written confirmations from voters that indicate concurrence with the change of their votes from negative to affirmative shall be included in the submittal to RevCom.” • Those writing resolutions must understand that these can be seen by both the commenter and (in our case) the 802 executive committee. • Inadequate resolutions, even if they pass unanimously in TGn will come back to bite us. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  13. Guidelines for Submission Authors • Use the latest available draft (D3.01 after this meeting) • If your submission is based on an earlier draft – revise it now • Pay attention to the CID “flags” (e.g., #5234) in nearby text. Check that your proposed resolution does not create a conflict with comments from LB115 (i.e., CID >=5000) If it does, provide a new resolution for that CID. • Clearly highlight in your submission any editing instructions • Use TGn Editor for edit instructions to me, and colour highlight/fill table cells that imply any further editing. I need all actions to be taken by me to be painfully obvious. • Where possible stick to the simple standard editing instructions: Delete, Insert, Change (followed by change-marked text). • Change tracking has been used for multiple purposes in the same submission (i.e., showing edits following a “change” instruction, and showing the history of changes in the submission.) • This creates ambiguity and possible conflict. • Be consistent – either use change tracking to show edits, or use it to show the history of changes in a submission – but not both! Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  14. Editorial motions this week • Motion to approve 253 Accept/Counter resolutions • Motion to approve 29 Reject resolutions • Motion to approve D3.01 • Motion on treatment of duplicate comments Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  15. Editorial Motion #1 • Move to accept the 253 comment resolutions in document 11-07-2783-01-000n-tgn-lb115-editor-comments.xls on the “Unapproved Editorial AC” tab. • 164 Accepts • 89 Counters • Stephens/Perahia • Passes without objection Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  16. Editorial Motion #2 • Move to accept the 29 comment resolutions in document 11-07-2783-01-000n-tgn-lb115-editor-comments.xls on the “Unapproved Editorial Rejects” tab. • Moved: Stephens/Perahia • Result: • Yes 24, • No 1, • Abstain 7 • Passes Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  17. Summary of “Unapproved Editorial Rejects” (Part of No vote = y) • CID 5248 - N_ST should be N_STS • CID 5402, 5403, 5404 – Numbering of Definitions • CID 5409 – Style of cross-references • CID 5415 – Order numbers missing in management frames • CID 5442 – Numbering of Annexes • CID 5466 – 9.6: “at any rate” -> “at a rate” • CID 5891 – use of double negatives Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  18. Editorial Motion #3 • Whereas ad-hoc groups can at their option identify some comments as duplicates of others, and pass them to the editor • Direct the editor to copy the “Resolution” and “Resn Status” fields from “original” LB115 comments to their duplicates, identified by having a non-empty “Duplicate of CID” value that identifies the original comment. • Stephens/Schultz • Passes unanimously Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  19. Editorial Motion #4 • Move to approve IEEE P802.11n_D3.01 as the TGn draft • Stephens/Perahia • Result: • Yes 28 • No 0 • Abstain 3 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
