4. Lack of Accomplishment

Lack of Accomplishment
The TG was unable to find an editor (our best effort was the candidate at right)
Schedule impact – new plan of record
TG has directed WG secretary to publish a schedule with unknown dates
New plan of record (next slide)
Possible solutions
IEEE could provide editor for a fee
Multiple funding sources for an editor (multiple potential candidates need sponsorship)
Editing in Microsoft Word is now acceptable

7. Interpretation Request #1

Interpretation Request #1
Request received from Christian Skupin on regarding (FCS field) and Annex G, specifically tables G.1 and G.14: “During the evaluation process of my PHY/MAC implementation I got in doubt with the accuracy of the given FCS (bytes ) in Table G.1. This FCS in Table G.1 corresponds to bits in Table G With respect to the FCS calculation instructions in chapter and the given message (bytes 1-96) in Table G.1 my calculations result in the FCS { } (msb-left), whereas the given FCS is { } (bits in Table G.14). In consideration of the fact that my FCS-implementation works with other reference data which I collected by recording a signals, I assume that the given FCS in Table G.1 is not appropriate.”
