13. IEEE 802.16n-11/0001 TGn activities in #72, and ongoing Work Plan 1.Review and respond to comments on SRD/SARM. 1.We will use Commentary tool for handling comments on SRD/SARM. (The SRD will be updated to add line numbers.) 2.We will not use Commentary on AWD until it is baselined. 2.Hear presentations of contributions for AWD including ToC changes. 1.The vote for changes to the AWD will be 50%. 2.For contributions before a baseline is approved, the vote for accepting text (or replacing text) in the AWD will be 50%. 3.At some future point when the draft ready (in the view of the task group – by task group vote), we will approve a baseline. Once baselined, the vote majority required for future changes and additions to the AWD or the ToC (structure) becomes 75%. 3.This procedure will be discussed and approved by TG in March
