doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 11/15/2002 802.11g Recirculation Ballot 1 on Draft 4.0 passed with 86% Yes (215), 14% No (35) There were ~153 No Comments No comments centered around: remove PBCC, remove CCK-OFDM, add TX filter spec, add TX power levels, raise RX sensitivity from -20 to -10dBm, and short slot option No comments were all resolved (accepted 60, rejected 58, countered 29) Draft 4.0 has now been advanced to Draft 4.3 J.

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 11/15/2002 So, all this success leads one to believe that TGg would go for another short recirculation followed by sponsor ballot But: “AH HA HA HA” That’s “fat chance” in Hawaian J. Karaoguz, Broadcom Corp. <author>, <company>

doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> <month year> doc.: IEEE 802.15-<doc#> 11/15/2002 At least 75% of the voting members for the letter ballot needs to cast their vote for the following recirculation ballot But only 72% returned to recirculation ballot, due to lost voting rights Therefore, TGg will now go for another 40-day Letter Ballot after Plenary based on Draft 5.0 Goal is to issue recirculation ballot next January J.
