Dear Colleagues,
I've been making progress on improving the interaction between IEEE 802 and P1905.1, establishing trust and getting changes made to improve interoperability. The tone of this discussion is not helpful.
Their document is quite short compared to many of our drafts. It's 82 pages (or less than 70 after subtracting the front matter and table of contents). It isn't a terrible strain to review in a 10 day recirculation and those who want a head start could read the initial sponsor ballot draft that's on IEEE Get and then look at the changes in the recirculation ballot draft.
Let's wait for the next draft, make any comments needed and work on resolving them rather than saber rattling at this point.
My efforts on P1905.1 have been focused on resolving 802.1 concerns with the draft. I'd be willing to broaden that to helping with 802.11 or any other Working Group's concerns with the draft.
Regards,
Pat

You got it.
Further, I would hope that you (as well as anyone else from 802 on
RevCom) would push back on the P1905.1 submittal to RevCom if they don't
provide the appropriate remedy for their lack of openness to date. I
would hope that the members of RevCom would put forth and support my
suggestion (or an appropriate equivalent) as the RevCom recommendation
for the P1905.1 submission.
Best regards,
Geoff Thompson

Hi Geoff,
While I know you are aware of this - for the benefit of others that are CCed that may not be - IEEE-SA RevCom acts in an advisory capacity to the IEEE-SA Standards Board by making recommendations on the approval or disapproval of standards submitted for IEEE-SA Standards Board approval or adoption. Hence, since RevCom only acts on submittals to RevCom, and IEEE P1905.1 is yet to be submitted to RevCom, I assume what you are suggestion is what you would advocate, should IEEE P1905.1 be submitted to IEEE-SA RevCom, assuming the IEEE P1905.1 Working Group doesn't do what you suggest. While I can't speak on behalf of RevCom, I'm personally happy to forward this email to the IEEE P1905.1 Working Group Chair as you request.
Best regards,
David

Unless the recirc is a full 30 days and includes the full scope of the
draft I would suggest an action at RevCom to:
Require a 30 day recirculation of the draft whose scope is the entire draft
on the basis that materially interested parties and IEEE standards projects
were denied access to participation on the original Initial sponsor Ballot.
I have copied the EC on this.
Please forward this to the Working Group Chair.

TO: IEEE 802.3 Voters, Observers and Liaisons
Dear Colleagues,
At the IEEE 802.3 July plenary I reported that the IEEE 802 Executive Committee was working on obtaining access for IEEE 802 participants to the IEEE P1905.1 Convergent Digital Home Network for Heterogeneous Technologies draft due to potential interest in the draft. I've now been informed that the P1905.1 draft is now available via the IEEE Get Program at the URL<http://standards.ieee.org/getieee/P1905.1/download/P1905.1.pdf>. Please note that this draft is the May 2012 draft which recently completed initial Sponsor ballot, a draft based on the comments received for Sponsor Ballot recirculation is currently being developed and I will send an update email when I am informed of the availability of that draft.
Best regards,
David
