5.5 Need: Check title of Chinese Regulator reference. (Expected to see a SRRC reference)
Response
Accept
Replace Chinese Radio Administration with Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Peoples Republic of China. SRRC is no longer used.

7.1: change “15.j” to “IEEE P j”
Response
Accept
7.1: remove the “P” from “P ” and note that “IEEE Std.” is missing from the Project Standard Number field and in the Project title. Add “IEEE Std.” to “ ” appears. (2 times)
7.1 Add a “IEEE P” to “ j” appears 3 times.
8.1: The Note for 5.2 would be better as part of the Coexistence statement in the 5c. And 7.1 is more appropriate for Unique Identity in the 5c. Delete both paragraph 1 and 2.

4.c) Coexistence: A Coexistence Assurance document is needed even if it is a very short one that states the information listed here…
Response
Accept
Changed From:
If needed, a Coexistence Assurance document will be created but in all likelihood one will not be necessary since there are currently no other IEEE 802 standards defined for use in these bands.
To:
If needed, a Coexistence Assurance document will be created.
5 a) this does not make sense. Rewrite. Look at using text from b)
IEEE Std Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands. As a result cost factors and reliable data are well known.
Due to the similarity to existing high volume IEEE Std applications cost factors are well known.
