May Session Goals for Beamforming & Adaptation Ad Hoc
Touch all 438 comments
~90 seconds/comment
Identify any that can be resolved immediately (prior to Weds Noon)
Accept or reject
Identify any that are improperly classified (T/ST/DT)
Identify any virtual duplicates
Comment and proposed changed essentially the same
Assign as many as possible to authors who will create submissions to resolve

Process
Attendance will not be taken
Meeting minutes will be recorded in the Beamforming and Adaptation comments spread sheet
Agenda will track progress on a session-by-session basis.
We will attempt to hold to the agenda so that people know at least which session will be addressing which comments
Decision will be by consensus to the extent possible
We will not review submissions until we have review all the comments in the spread sheet
Most likely not to occur during May meetings
Any submissions that are not tied directly to comment(s) in the Beamforming and Adapt Ad Hoc list will be referred to TGn

Comment Spreadsheet
Please download the comment spreadsheet for the Beamforming and Adaptation ad hoc. We will update this spreadsheet during our meetings. At the end of each 2-hour meeting, the chair will attempt to load the update spreadsheet back to the server.
n-tgn-d1-0-lb84-beamforming-and-adaptation.xls
Most of the columns in the spreadsheet are derived from the master spreadsheet (created by the editor) and are explained on the schema tab.
The Beam & Adapt tab of the spreadsheet contains PHY comments
The comment tab spreadsheet has been sorted by: clause (ed), page (ed), line (ed)
