4. doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/0552r1 Submission May 2014 The China NB provided comment CN.1 on IEEE 802.11aa China NB comment CN.1 on IEEE 802.11aa Since the procedural and technical concerns China NB proposed in 6N15602 still haven’t been reasonably disposed in this FDAM text, and referencing issues mentioned below exist in this text, so China NB has to vote against on this FDAM ballot. If these issues could not be disposed reasonably and this proposal would have been passing the FDAM ballot, it is regretful for China to be obliged to lose the responsibility and obligation of complying with and adopting the standard. Furthermore, China NB wishes to state for the record. Slide 4

Per the agreement in 6N15606, China NB representatives are invited to participate in the IEEE 802 comment resolution process. We have noted the comment that the China NB is “obliged to lose the responsibility and obligation of complying with and adopting the standard”. It is out of scope for IEEE 802 and therefore we will forward it to ISO Central Secretariat. Slide 5

13. doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/0552r1 Submission May 2014 The Swiss NB provided comment CH.1 on IEEE 802.11ad Swiss NB comment CH.1 on IEEE 802.11ad In a conventional DIS or DIS fast-track ballot, the sub-sequent comments would be issued with a DISAPPROVE vote, which would be turned into APPROVAL if the comments were satisfactorily resolved. The FDIS fast-track however postpones, by 2.7 of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, such resolution to the next review of the standard. Furthermore, affirmative votes to an FDIS cannot be made conditional on the resolution of any comments. However, we wish ISO/IEC to endorse this standard and to subjugate it under its maintenance procedures as set forth in F.2.4 of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, and Sc6 Graz Resolution 6.1.10. Therefore our vote is APPROVE, unconditionally. Our comments are submitted under the late option of 6N15606 to be processed by the IEEE 802.1 (sic) WG as soon as possible, i.e. either during comment resolution on any subsequent draft or during normal maintenance.

Swiss NB representatives are invited to participate in the maintenance process for IEEE 802.11ad. Slide 14

15. doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/0552r1 Submission May 2014 The Swiss NB provided comment CH.2 on IEEE 802.11ad Swiss NB comment CH.2 on IEEE 802.11ad As an Amendment to ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802-11 this specification must comply to the ISO Directives, Part 2, “Rules for the structure and drafting of International Standards” as well as the JTC 1 Supplement and the relevant JTC 1 Standing Documents. It is desirable that the next revision of the specification be in line with the applicable requirements. This is a major aim of our comments. We will be pleased to find resolutions in fruitful collaboration with the IEEE 802.1 WG. Slide 15
