May 2001
Session #15/Austin – Motion #1 to the Full WG
Move to submit P /D to 802 SEC for approval of submission to RevCom.
Non Technical 50% (Procedural)
Moved: ?
Second: ?
Y/N/A: //
Again, there were a
total of 412 comments and we believe that 122 are directly related to
Bluetooth's Specifications.
3 kinds of comments:
53 Yellow = Technical [these are important e.g., technical peer review
commentary and IEEE P would like the Bluetooth SIG to review and
advise on their ability to include these into the errata process to be
considered for inclusion to the v1.0B Bluetooth Specification?]
26 White = Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS) [these are
important but relate to separate Bluetooth documents and *not* the Core &
Profiles Specifications. I believe that the following BSIG Promoter/IEEE
Members Dr. Fujio Watanabe and Mr. Arto Palin
are dealing directly with these comments in terms of
the Bluetooth Test Specifications.]
43 Blue = Editorial [these are less important e.g., grammar, typo's, etc.
but should be considered in the errata process too.]
Note: They are provided sequentially in these colors on the Worksheet.
Note: TG1 pre-submitted D1.0.1 to RevCom on 26Oct01.
