Task Group 1 (TG1) is deriving a draft standard from the Bluetooth™ specification under IEEE PAR
After Session #15, we attended the 4-5Dec01 IEEE-SA StdBd Committee Meetings (PatCom, RevCom) in NYC USA.
PatCom reviewed the Bluetooth LOA and accepted it.
RevCom reviewed the Application for approval of P –01/462r1a and it was disapproved (see notes on this slide).
After the RevCom meeting our Ballot Review Committee (BRC) was assembled to review and respond to the comments.

RE: NEW P /D1.0.1 (C/LM) Standard for Information Technology -
Telecommunications and Information Exchange Between Systems - Local and
Metropolitan Area Networks - Specific Requirements - Part 15.1: Wireless
Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications for
Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs)
Dear Ian:
I must inform you that P was disapproved because the Sponsor must
insure that the scope stated in the PAR is consistent with the scope of the
document. The Sponsor shall conduct a recirculation ballot with proper
technical rebuttals to unresolved negative comments. Gary Robinson will be
the RevCom mentor to the Sponsor.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
