xxx doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/xxxxr0 March 2017 Letter Ballot 228 A single comment was received that was not "must be satisfied" (and was from a "yes" voter). The commenter subsequently stated by email to the WG chair that he wished to withdraw the comment. The comment was discussed and resolved during the March session. That discussion and resolution was notified to the WG members as usual in the comment resolution spreadsheet (https://mentor.ieee.org/802.11/dcn/17/11-17-0390-01-00aj-lb228-comment-database.xlsx),  and the approval recorded in the task group minutes (to be posted). This satisfies the IEEE-SA OM requirement "shall provide evidence of the consideration of each comment" (OM 5.4.3.3). Because this is not a comment that "must be satisfied",  and because no changes were made since the previous ballot,  no recirculation is needed. Jiamin Chen (Huawei) Jiamin Chen /Huawei
