[802-20-GENERAL] SRD v13 - Comment Cycle #2 - Details and Deadline

Dear All,

 

As a follow up to Gang’s email, SRD v13 and the comment database v3 was posted on the drop box section of 802.20 home page by Gang Wu today. As decided at the end of the May meeting last week, following is a set of details which will super-cede the previous process for comment resolution w.r.t the SRD. The comment cycle term is used instead of “ballot” in order to clarify that this process is adopted by the 802.20 WG in order to accelerate the comment resolution for creating the baseline text for the SRD. In essence the comment cycle invites comments to the latest version of the SRD that will be circulated to the group.

 

The 802.20 WG Comment Cycle #2 is now open, through 11 PM GMT, 8 June 2004. The Comment cycle concerns development of the SRD v13 that Gang Wu has posted on http://ieee802.org/20/Drop_Box.htm.

 

In order to progress to the next step, 802.20 Comment Cycle contributors will require using the commentary database located on http://ieee802.org/20/Commentary.htm. Please read carefully the instructions to use the Comment Database also given on this page. (http://ieee802.org/20/Commentary/CRD%20Instructions%20v3.doc). It gives enough details on how to enter the comments and submit via email to the editor.

 

Below are set of guidelines to be followed:

 

  1. Please remember to correctly fill in all the required fields in all the comment files that you submit.

 

(last name, first name, membership, document under review, comment cycle # (under “ballot # “column),  comment type (editorial or technical – binding/nonbinding), comment (include the rational or reason for the comment), suggested remedy,  starting page, section and line number, Fig/Table number if applicable, comment date).

 

  1. Any comment files with incomplete or vague data will NOT be included in the database.

 

  1. Those comments from Comment Cycle #1 (discussed at the May 2004 meeting) that could not be addressed - will need to be re-entered for the new Comment Cycle #2, by respective proponents.

 

  1. If the comment supports a particular contribution, then the contribution needs to be referred to in the database and will need to be emailed along with the comment file before the Comment Cycle deadline.

 

  1. At the end of the Comment Cycle #2, the new database will be posted for reply comments. We will remind people regarding creation of reply comments.  People will be encouraged to work with others off-line (so that if there is some resolution that can be jointly proposed, it will reduce the time and effort of the group to reach a resolution).

 

  1. For those whose company prohibits the use of proprietary software (like the Commentary Database) will need to send an official note to the Chair – Jerry Upton, about their situation. Unless they send a note, their circumstance will not be accepted as an excuse for not being able to submit comments.

 

After this Comment cycle #2, the editor will post the new “Comment database for SRD v13” for the group to review and send reply comments upon. There will be another cycle (Comment Cycle #3) for reply comments before the July meeting. Based on the reply comments, the latest version of the database will be posted at least a week before the July meeting for the group to review.  

 

Make sure that all comments are returned via e-mail to Rashmi.bajaj@rd.francetelecom.com

 

Best regards,

 

Rashmi BAJAJ
