After discussion in August and further email discussion, I propose the resolution to CID 188 to be:

Revised. In Clause 10.3.2.9 (P1419L62), replace:

“ The cases when an Ack or BlockAck frame can be generated are shown in the frame exchange sequences listed

in Annex G.”

with

“The cases when an Ack or BlockAck frame can be generated in acknowledgment to a received frame includes:

- Individually addressed Management frames other than Action No Ack frames

- Individually addressed non-QoS frames of Type Data

- Individually addressed QoS frames of Type Data where the Ack Policy is 00

- BlockAck frames not sent in immediate response to A-MPDU

- BlockAckReq frame

- PS-Poll frame, which can be acknowledged by generating a Data frame

A list of frame exchange sequences is given in Annex G.”

In Annex G, after the first 8 instances of "require acknowledgement" or "requires acknowledgement" (i.e. all but the last) insert "(see G.3 under "(* These frames require acknowledgment *)")". At 3585.29 after "Frame RA has i/g bit equal to 0" add "or is sent to an AP/PCP"
