The comment was accepted in principle, but a different change to the one indicated by the commenter was approved. R – Rejected. The comment was declined and no change to address the comment was approved.

10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0715r0 Submission July 2009 Stephen McCann (RIM) Slide 10 You may want to include some analysis of the comments, such as summarizing/grouping by topic. However, it is probably better not to attempt to analyse individual comments, because any response/explanation from the comment resolution committee should be in the comment resolution, not this submission. The following pages give an example from TGn.

P802.11u had a % approval on the last WG Recirculation Ballot. There were voters that had voted NO [, then of the NO voters changed to a YES vote]. –Task Group Vote on the Motion Passed: y, n, a –Working Group vote on the Motion Passed: y, n, a Moved: 2 nd : –Yes No Abstain It is critical that a properly formed motion be presented to the EC for consideration in the Friday afternoon session during the plenary when approval is requested. The wording of the motion used in the TG and then the WG does not need to be identical but complementary. Updates of the WG11 templates are needed.
