[RPRWG] Forwarding Comments from Geoff Thompson on our proosed PAR 802.17a

["Robert D. Love" <rdlove@xxxxxxxxx>]

FYI.

 

Geoff Thompson sent off comments on many of the proposed PARs to the SEC.  Here is his comment regarding our proposed PAR 802.17a:

 

P802.17a        Amendment to 802.1
In the PAR (unless you are seeking to change the title of the standard, or you want confusion during the approval process) the full correct base title should be used, for 802.1 that is:

IEEE Standard for Information technology--

Telecommunications and information exchange between systems--

Local and metropolitan area networks--

Common specifications

Part 3: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges

I would suggest that putting an amendment number as an integral part of the tile offers confusion rather than clarity over the long run, I suggest a change to just  "Support for 802.17 RPR MACs".

Best regards,
