Re: [802SEC] Clause 19 Report regarding P802.11y to Sponsor Ballot
Dear Bob,
In answer to your email entitled RE: Clause 19 Report regarding P802.11y to Sponsor Ballot. I would like to present the
following:
Stating LB 116 resolution facts:
- LB116 recirculation of P802.11y D6.0 received 36 comments, eight from a new DISAPPROVE voter and 28 from approve
voters.
- All comments were Rejected.
- No agreements were made in the resolution of any LB 116 comments.
- 28 comments were on approved portions of the document, and were ruled Out of Scope.
- Eight comments were on changed text or text affected by changed text, or text that is not part of the amendment.
- No comments were received on text referred to by outstanding unresolved comments.
Regarding changes that were agreed to be made in the resolution of prior ballot DISAPPROVE comments:
- P802.11y D2.0 contains the changes agreed to be made resolving comments 426-438, and recirculated in LB 104.
- P802.11y D4.0 contains the changes agreed to be made resolving comments 2072-2076, and recirculated in LB 109.
- P802.11y D5.0 contains the changes agreed to be made resolving comments 3176-3180, and recirculated in LB 112.
- P802.11y D6.0 contains the change agreed to be made resolving comment 4043, and recirculated in LB 116.
Responding to your comments (Bob Grow) point by point:
1. To be ruled invalid, the comments also must not be related to changed text, and I didn't find that assurance in
the report. Are all comments also not related to changes in the balloted draft?
- None of the comments from the new DISAPPROVE voter were on text related to changed text which was recirculated.
- None of the other comments ruled Out of Scope were on text related to changed text.
2. The report indicates that changes were agreed to be made in response to those out of scope comments. All
substantive changes must be recirculated. Are any of the changes in response to these comments substantive?
- No substantive changes were agreed to be made or have been made.
- No agreements were made in resolving Out of Scope comments.
3. The report does not indicate if approve comments were submitted and what the disposition of those comments was.
Were any substantive changes made to the draft in response to Approve comments or for any other reason?
- No substantive changes were agreed to be made or have been made.
- No agreements were made in resolving any comments.
The new DISAPPROVE voter was contacted about the proposed comment resolutions to his comments, and declined to change
his vote.
The position of the WG Chair and the TG Chair (acting as resolution committee Chair) is that no additional recirculation
is required and that we believe that we have detailed our answers to you questions.
I thank you for your excellent due diligence and present this for your consideration. I am sorry for the detailed long
email.
With all due respects,
/ Stuart

Stuart:
In reading the ballot report, I think it says that all comments
accompanying the new negative ballot were on unchanged text.
1. To be ruled invalid, the comments also must not be related to
changed text, and I didn't find that assurance in the report. Are all
comments also not related to changes in the balloted draft?
2. The report indicates that changes were agreed to be made in response
to those out of scope comments. All substantive changes must be
recirculated. Are any of the changes in response to these comments
substantive?
3. The report does not indicate if approve comments were submitted and
what the disposition of those comments was. Were any substantive
changes made to the draft in response to Approve comments or for any
other reason?
4. If the answer to #1 is yes and #2 and #3 is no, then I don't see any
reason why an additional recirculation is required.
5. For purposes of the conditional approval, it isn't relevant, but I
can't figure out how the invalid Disapprove was counted. Per the SASB
Operations Manual 5.4.3.2, if the new Disapprove vote is only based on
approved portions of the document and the voter does not change the
negative ballot when informed the comments are invalid, the Disapprove
vote then becomes a Disapprove without comments. The tally does not
indicate a Disapprove without comment, was the "invalid Disapprove"
counted as a Disapprove without comment?
