Meeting the terms of conditional approval - continued November 2010 doc.: IEEE 802.11-10/0800r9 November 2011 Meeting the terms of conditional approval - continued e) If the WG Chair determines that there is a new invalid DISAPPROVE comment or vote, the WG Chair shall promptly provide details to the Sponsor. There were no new DISAPPROVE comments or votes. f) The WG Chair shall immediately report the results of the ballot to the Sponsor including: the date the ballot closed, vote tally and comments associated with any remaining disapproves (valid and invalid), the WG responses and the rationale for ruling any vote invalid. The ballot closed on 2011-11-13 at 23:59 ET The vote tally: For: 150, against: 5, abstain: 9. 88.2% return., 96.8% affirmative. The comments associated with remaining disapproves are included in slide 11 of this deck. No new DISAPPROVE comments were received; there are no new unsatisfied comments. The numbers of unsatisfied comments have reduced slightly since R1 of this submission due to feedback from commenters on which comments they consider to be satisfied or unsatisfied, or due to previous “no” voters changing their votes. In addition, one voter changed from “Disapprove” to “Approve” after the ballot closed. No votes have been ruled invalid. Slide 4 D. Stanley (Aruba), B.Kraemer (Marvell) D.
