5. September 2006
Outstanding work
The PHY ad hoc has been able to review approximately 50 as yet unreviewed comments in a half day of ad hoc meetings
Part of the review process is to assign a topic, referenced by grouping related comments
We can usually only get a half day per session
At this pace, we need 4 more half-days to review the remaining comments
We have 48 outstanding submissions and 25 topics covered by defer to SELF
Jim Petranovich, Conexant

6. September 2006
Operations in future
Volunteers have already pre-screened all the comments to group them into related groups
How do we speed things up?
We need people to prepare the presentations they have been assigned to
We need volunteers to propose resolutions for comments deferred to SELF
Other Possibilities
Volunteers to prepare proposed resolutions for un-reviewed comments
Other? (welcome proposals from floor)
Propose to discuss this topic in PHY ad hoc on Monday
