8. Change in Standard Category
PARs were approved and drafts were approved for sponsor ballot as “full-use”
Whether “full-use” or “trial-use” category was discussed in WG meeting before going to sponsor ballot and no change was made
Negative position ballots were submitted to change the category to “trial-use”
WG resolved to accept “trial-use” category
Change will be made to the drafts as required by the IEEE Style Guide and recirculated as “trial-use” with appropriate explanatory text
Change in category does not affect sponsor ballot status or schedule for recirculation
