Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group.

Process for Draft D1.03
Each “A or C” resolution was implemented (if possible). The draft was edited and was also marked with a comment indicating the related CID.
The comments spreadsheet was updated with Edit Status and Edit Notes. Edit Notes indicate any interpretation or modification of the resolution that was implemented. Edit Status indicates one of: EI, EM, EMR, ER, EN (see next slide).
A complete response to the Comments approved in July in is document 11-06/0706r11 in the “Approved in July” tab.
The working draft and spreadsheet were reviewed by editorial volunteers who reported ~200 defects.
The defects were corrected, and D1.03 was published.
Time required (for ~800 comment resolutions):
2 weeks for initial editing
2 weeks for review
1 week for addressing defects and publication

7. Treatment of recycled “EMR+ER” comments
Sept 2006
Treatment of recycled “EMR+ER” comments
These are comments that need input from the technical ad-hocs, and subsequent re-approval by TGn
EMR comments relate to the editor’s “best interpretation” of the resolution, but require TGn re-approval because what the editor implemented was substantively different to the resolution approved by TGn.
These comments all need to be discussed, modified (if necessary) and approved by motion in TGn as soon as possible.
The editor will then make any necessary adjustments to D1.03 and issue a D1.04 for approval before the end of the next full TGn session.
Unhanded EMR comments will probably delay the approval of D1.04
ER comments do not block the approval of D1.04.
However it may be instructive for ad-hocs to look at these early rather than late to discover what kind of resolution causes the editor to assign an ER status.

Status of Comments Database
The LB84 comments are distributed between 13 Excel worksheets in 9 separate files.
The comments are regularly checked against the original corpus, held in 11-06/0541r2 to ensure that no comments are lost, and fixed fields of the comments have not been changed.
The list of components follows on the next slide.
