RE: [802SEC] Final CD-ROM content
I agree very much with what Geoff said. We have just been balloting additions to IEEE 802.3 which operate on text originally from 802.3 with changes from 802.3ae (which hasn't been integrated yet into an edition). It is significantly extra work to have to be comparing between the three documents all the time. Once the consolidated edition is available, we should make it available to our voters.
Regards,
Pat

Bob-
I have a big problem with this.
All of the ISO/IEC version of 802 Standards have always been distributed in
the past. They have always been a joint publication. The issue of something
being an ISO standard but only an IEEE "edition" has never been an issue or
a barrier.
Also, 802 voters should not be burdened with the extra work of flipping
back and forth between multiple documents when referring to the current
standard in order to formulate their ballot comments.
The work that they do on responsible review of our drafts is already
onerous enough. Both by virtue of the size of the drafts and the size of
the established standards that they have to judge for technical integration.
Bottom line, I think this is a bad idea in that (1) it takes away something
we had in the past and (2) is counterproductive to good standards development.
