12. TGn Minutes of May ’06 06/0721r1 July 2006
Executive Summary (also see Chairs’ meeting doc r5 and closing report doc r0:
Letter Ballot 84 failed (149,171,32)
The meeting was devoted to LB84 comment resolution – 12,277 comments received
The resolution procedure was as follows:
First, comment duplicates (4692) were identified – reduced total to 7585
Comments were then categorized into 8 subject matter categories – PHY, MAC, Frame Format, Coexistence, CA, General, PSMP, Beam Forming; decision to form ad hocs for each category was made; leaders volunteered for each of the ad hocs were discovered 
Comments were then resolved by placing them (including the resolution) into 1 of 6 categories – Accept, Reject, Defer, Transfer to a different ad hoc, Counter, Withdraw
As of the close of the meeting ~ 24% of the comments had been resolved; see r0 for a breakdown by subject matter and resolution categories
No votes were taken on resolutions as group as a whole wanted time to consider further
An interim F2F will be held in Santa Clara on May 31 and June 1 to resolve comments
Weekly conference calls on Wednesdays at 11 AM ET will continue as needed
Ad hocs will meet July 12,13,14 before the July Plenary for comment resolution in the SanDiego area
The timeline was updated to reflect the large number of comments by estimating that the next LB will not occur until after the November meeting
Goals for July meeting are to resolve comments and vote on the resolutions
