Title: Availability of First Round Comments for P802.17 D0.2

Availability of First Round Comments for P802.17 D0.2
-----------------------------------------------------

Dear IEEE 802.17 Working Group Member:

This e-mail is to advise you of the availability, for review, of the first
batch of 73 comments against the Draft P802.17/D0.2 document that was
posted on April 15, 2002. You may submit proposed resolutions to any or all
of the comments in this batch. Note that you may continue to submit new
comments as well, until the comment period officially closes on Sunday,
28th April 2002. All properly submitted comments as well as your proposed
resolutions to these comments will be resolved during the May 2002 Interim
meeting in Ottawa, Ontario.

A copy of the draft, the ballot/comment executable and the associated
Commentary Users Guide can be found on our password-protected website:

http://www.ieee802.org/17/member/draftballots/d0_2/

The draft is posted in Adobe "pdf" document format and can be viewed online,
or downloaded and printed. You will need a copy of Adobe's Acrobat Reader
(4.0 or higher) to view or print the draft. This software is available for
free downloading from Adobe at:
        http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html.
The draft prints out as 250 paper pages. It is copyrighted by the IEEE and
is for your review for balloting purposes only. It should not be copied or
otherwise distributed.

The ballot/comment executable, known as the Comment Resolution Database
or CRD, is designed for systems capable of running Windows or Macintosh
based programs. Please read the comment instructions (the Commentary User's
Guide) carefully.

The instructions for opening and viewing this first batch of comments may
be found in the sections "Updating the Comment Resolution Database" and
"Recirculation of Proposed Resolutions" on pages 5 and 22, respectively,
of the User's Guide. Instructions for entering proposed resolutions to any
of the comments therein may be found in the section "Proposing Resolutions
to Comments by Others" on page 18 of the User's Guide. Instructions for
submitting proposed resolutions to the Chief Editor can be found in the
section "Submitting Proposed Resolutions" on page 26 of the Commentary
User's Guide.

If you would like to submit additional comments, or have not yet submitted
comments, please follow the instructions given in "Entering Comments into
the CRD" on page 6 of the User's Guide. Do not use the same CRD for
submitting new comments that you may have originally used for entering
proposed resolutions to existing comments. To create a new CRD, see the
instructions in "Setting up the Comment Resolution Database" on page 4 of
the User's Guide.

Please continue to submit both comments and additional proposed resolutions
(i.e., the output of your comment executable) electronically to Tom
Alexander at:
        tom_alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you should have any questions, problems or comments please contact:

NOTE:
 
According to the RPR Working Group ballot process, official ballots will only
be accepted from voting members of the 802.17 Working Group. The draft is also,
however, being circulated to those who have been participating in the
standardization process who are not members of the Working Group in order to
provide a wide review of the document and to solicit comments.
 
You should also be aware that Technical-Binding (TB) comments are not required
to be tracked amongst non-Working Group members. If a TB is entered by a person
who is not a Working Group member, and this person is not at attendance and
readily available at the interim meeting to review the Working Group's response,
we will not obligate the editors or staff of 802.17 to track down the commenter
and obtain the sign-off.

Best Regards,

Mike Takefman
