7. P802.22 Response to PPC PAR Comments
IEEE Document , entitled “ Response to the Comments on the Revision PAR”
+ ACCEPT – Removed the term Point-to-Point from the Scope
+ The PAR document with the words “allow” was circulated as a correction via that was sent out on October 11th [ Rev2]. However, we are okay with changing the word “that Allow Spectrum Sharing” to “that Allow Spectrum Sharing between Primary Services and Opportunistic Communication Devices”
The fundamental assumption behind the operation of IEEE systems is that spectrum is shared with primary users. Hence the shared spectrum may or may not be available at all times and at all the locations. The radio will have to automatically change its characteristics and behavior to operate in appropriate alternate spectrum as directed by the cognitive sharing mechanism (e. g. database, sensing or beaconing). Hence is highly applicable for use in bands that allow or require spectrum sharing such as the radar bands between 2700 MHz to 3650 MHz in the United States.

8. P802 Response to PPC PAR Comments
IEEE Document Gdoc, entitled “P802 PAR Extension Comments Response”
We are aware that the current PAR Scope does not exactly match the document's Scope subclause; however, as the document does not exceed the PAR scope, then this is not a problem for the progression of the project. Also, changing the PAR at this stage, when the document is under Sponsor ballot, is problematic, because it would require us to re-form the Sponsor ballot group, and in turn, that would require cancelling the existing ballot and starting a new Sponsor ballot. There is absolutely no point in doing that, so we don't intend to change the PAR wording.
In any event, as this is a PAR extension request, not a PAR modification request, there is no opportunity to make changes to the rest of the PAR detail as part of this process; the extension request can only request changes to the end date, so actually this is not an "opportunity to align the PAR scope with the draft scope" at all.
