I vote approve. I have a suggestion for consideration to improve clarity.

In the 2^nd to last paragraph (talking about deployments possibly increasing interference in UWB channel 9), it says, “The regulatory positioning within Europe^{^[1]} and USA^{^[2]} reflects the importance of low interference level in the frequency range where UWB devices operate. “

I think you mean “The regulatory positioning within Europe^{^[3]} and USA^{^[4]} reflects the importance of <maintaining a> low interference level in the frequency range where UWB devices operate. “

The existing grammar doesn’t quite work, and I think from the context the additional words “maintaining a” seem to be missing,

If this helps, great – if not, then I still vote approve.

Subject: +++LMSC review+++ A draft submission to Japan MIC's consultation on Frequency Reallocation Action Plan
To: STDS-802-LMSC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <STDS-802-LMSC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Dear IEEE 802 LMSC members,

I would like to request the review of the following draft IEEE 802 LMSC submission before asking the LMSC to consider approval of the submission tentatively via a letter ballot in the near future.

On 18th September 2026, Japan's MIC began a consultation on their Frequency Reallocation Action Plan (FY2026 edition).

A few individuals prepared a response to MIC's consultation. The submission was approved by IEEE 802.18 on 8th October 2026 with the following voting results: 13 Yes, 0 No, 0 Abstain.

Link to the draft response:

(Note - The quoted text to note the relevant sections is direct translations and are added for member's benefit. They will be reduced in the form of "X...Y" or removed in the final submission as per the MIC submission guidelines)
