RE: stds-802-mobility: RE: stds-80220-requirements: 802.1q/p

Tony,
 
Thank you for that clarification.  I agree.  It is up to 802.20 to justify and convince the 802 EC about whatever
variances we have with compatibility to other 802 standards.
 
Best regards,
 
Joanne

Both the PAR and 5 Criteria were approved up through the IEEE Standards Board and as such, it is up to the 802.20 WG to determine what, if any, requirements it will have for L2 switching and/or  variances we have regarding
compatibility with other 802 standards.

I'm afraid that is not the case. The 5 criteria are local to 802 and don't form any part of what RevCom looks at in order to finally approve the standard. The final arbiter of whether the 5 criteria have been met, and whether any variance is justified, is the 802 Exec, not 802.20. So if you (802.20) decide that a variance is necessary/desirable, it is the 802 Exec you will need to convince.
