18. doc.: IEEE 802.15-01/462r1 Submission May 2001 David Cypher & Ian GiffordSlide 18 Comment Status (cont.) The “C” in the Response Status column indicates that the comment (whether Accepted or Rejected) is considered CLOSED by the letter ballot comment resolution team. In the case of an AC, this means that the comment was accept, changes applied, and the comment is now closed. In the case of an RC, this means that the comment was not accepted, no change applied, decline letter sent, and the comment is now closed. The “U” in the Response Status column indicates that the comment is UNSATISFIED by the letter ballot comment resolution team. The team has not been able to reach final closure on this comment due to a needed response from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group. This is not to be confused with the opinion (i.e. unsatisfied) of the original commenter. The “Z” in the Response Status column indicates that the comment was WITHDRAWN by the original commenter and thus no further consideration by the letter ballot comment resolution team.
