Re: [802.3_1TPCE] BroadR-Reach Version 3.2



Geoff,

Thanks for the feedback. This is quite useful for us and I will provide the DIFF presentation ahead of San Diego meeting. Hopefully, that will provide a effective basis for further reviews and discussions. 

Thanks and best regards,

Mehmet

Thomas-

I feel this is not quite adequate.
While the file is retrievable from the URL that you provided,
there is no appearance of the file that is visible to anyone who does not have your e-mail in hand.
That is, the file does not appear on the directory page of the public directory in which it was stored.
Nor does it appear under any obvious link on the Study Group page

I see no good reason why the participants should have to wait until a meeting presentation before we are provided with a DIFF document.
We need this information now so that the participants can each make an informed decision as to whether it is appropriate to embrace V3.2 at this meeting
The entry in the "Revisions History" (page ix) of version 3.2 is inadequate for that purpose and there seems to be nothing else provided at this time.
We need a DIFF document of the same manner that is provided between draft versions in 802.3 balloting.
It is a well established custom in 802.3 that a DIFF version of each draft is supplied whenever a new draft is distributed to a Task force.

Moreover, the submitters continue to thwart our participants ability to generate a DIFF document on their own.
The most recent document provided is locked (as are the 2 earlier versions) with respect to any of the following actions:
Page extraction
Commenting
Content copying (as in generating a drop-out text file to use for comparison)

Also, it would be helpful for the group's reference purposes if the provided drafts had line numbers.

Based on these problems, I am reluctant to consider this an appropriate document for the July meeting.

Best regards,
Geoff Thompson

Team,
 
As announced in my last mail we received now the version 3.2 of the BroadR-Reach specification.
At the plenary meeting we will also see a presentation that will explain the minor differences between 3.0 and 3.2.
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
