Study group 7a met for 4 sessions during the Nov 2014 IEEE802 meeting   Session 1 Collected and reviewed comments on the PAR and CSD Generated document 15-14-0658-xx-007a PAR and CSD Comments and Responses There were 24 comments Most problematic was the title of the base standard which is “Short-Range Wireless Optical Communication Using Visible Light” … the word “Visible” clashed with the intent of the amendment was to include IR and near UV. It became apparent that we would have to do a revision instead of an amendment. Session 2 Undertook major rewrite of the TITLE, SCOPE, NEED and STAKEHOLDERS Had to be brief since we had a comment that some clauses were a bit too verbose The committee reviewed several drafts of these clauses before settling in on acceptable text Session 3 Finalized revision PAR on IEEE SA My Project website Finalized the CSD Reviewed and edited document “15-14-0658-xx-007a PAR and CSD Comments and Responses” Session 4 Prepared minutes and closing report.
