May 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0528r0 March 2007 Process for Draft D2.00 D 1.10 Each “A or C” resolution from the January meeting was implemented during the editorial caucus immediately after the January meeting. The comments spreadsheet 11-06-0706r30 was updated with Edit Status and Edit Notes reflecting the implementation of approved resolutions. The Edit Notes field indicates any interpretation or modification of the resolution that was implemented. The Edit Status field indicates one of: EI (implemented with no modifications), EM (implemented with modifications), EN (nothing to do). Extensive checking/reviewing was performed: each submission and each comment was checked. Each change visible in the redline was checked. This draft was published as D1.10 LB 95 approved D1.10 to go to ballot and be renamed D2.00 The working draft and spreadsheet were reviewed by editorial volunteers who Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation Bruce Kraemer, Marvell

Editorial ad-hoc process May 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0528r0 March 2007 Editorial ad-hoc process Same process as used last time round Editors (Adrian, John Ketchum) will provide resolutions to the comments assigned to the editorial ad-hoc and make matching edits to produce an unapproved version of the TGn draft. This will be reviewed with a volunteer panel and any necessary corrections made. A Draft 2.01 will then be published on the 802.11 server, and a call for comments on the editorial resolutions will be made to the 802.11 reflector. A meeting of the TGn Editorial ad-hoc will be scheduled for the May TGn session where any additional issues with the editorial resolutions may be reported and discussed and a resolution approved. A Draft 2.02 incorporating any modified editorial resolutions and a consistent version of the editorial ad-hoc spreadsheet will be brought to TGn for approval by motion at the end of the May 2007 session.

Call for additional Editorial ad-hoc volunteers May 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0528r0 March 2007 Call for additional Editorial ad-hoc volunteers Most of the work of the Editorial ad-hoc is done offline A worthy band of trusty volunteer stalwarts has assisted me over the last year. Without their assistance, we would not be where we are today. Any member is welcome to contribute to this activity, which involves approximately 2 weeks of effort per 2 month cycle. The more volunteers we have, the more coverage and higher quality we will achieve. Please send an email if you are willing to contribute 1-2 weeks per 2 months to adrian.p.stephens@intel.com Existing volunteers do not have to do anything.
