Hi Arnie,
From a marketing, sales and strategy point of view, I think it is almost
equally as important to start on the two PARS discussed
in Atlanta as
it is to review ballot comments should we get a conditional approval . Not only
do other IEEE wireless groups have such information
in their PARS, but other Forums around the globe do as well in relation to
their own technology.
It is something that not only will go hand in hand in detailing our PAR, but
will enhance the original Sponsor Ballot/ and eventually the Standard as well.
So I think it is almost mandatory to not waste any time in getting either of
these proposals started with, incase
the Sponsor ballot is delayed until after the January Interim.
Regards, Nancy

Subject: [802-20-GENERAL:]
I am pleased to announce that the EC approved two important motions at
the closing EC meeting of the Atlanta
plenary. The two motions are attached. One of these motions requests that the
Standards board utilize a voting approach similar to that directed to be used
by 802.20 in the Sponsor Ballot. The second motion advances the 802.20 draft to
Sponsor Ballot.
I would like the members of the 802.20 to now let me know if they want
to go to the January interim. If the SASB acts quickly it is possible that
802.20 will have comments from the sponsor ballot to address in January. If
there are delays, the January work load will consist of work on the two new
PARs that we agreed to develop in Atlanta
and work on the update to the P&P of 802.20. I/we must decide quickly
as regards meeting at the January interim due to registration deadlines. I am
therefore asking the membership as a straw poll(everyone votes) to please
let me know if you want to attend the interim recognizing that the work load
might not include comment resolution. On the other hand if the SASB acts
quickly and we do not proceed to the interim the opportunity to deal with
comments from the sponsor ballot will be delayed till March.
In my view the risk of losing the opportunity to address comments in
January makes the choice of 802.20 attending the prefered choice. However I did
want to share with the working group the issues and ask your guidance in this
straw vote.
Please respond to me at greenspana@bellsouth.net
and let me know your preference by Tuesday 20 November 5:00 PM Eastern (New York) time. I will
announce the results the same day and based I the results will announce if
802.20 will meet.
