Guidance for submission authors Nov 2006 Guidance for submission authors Use the latest TGn Draft It’s OK to use D1.05 rather than D1.06, because the differences are minor The the submission template doc 11-06/0967r0, and read the notes there Remember to propose new resolutions for already approved comments that conflict with your proposal You can find by looking for (Ed: CID yyyy) flags in the affected text Find the comments in document 11-06/541 (r11+) Ad-hoc chairs, copy the comment from 11-06/541 into your spreadsheet and “take ownership” of it Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

May 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0528r0 Nov 2006 Process for Draft D1.06 Each “A or C” resolution was implemented (if possible). The draft was edited and was also marked with a comment indicating the related CID. The comments spreadsheet was updated with Edit Status and Edit Notes.

Time required (for ~800 comment resolutions): 2 weeks for initial editing 1 weeks for review 1 week for addressing defects and publication Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
