[802SEC] Administrative Withdrawal of 802.4




Please note that 802.4 standard is subject to administrative withdrawal in
December-2001. Note that with new rules going into effect in 2001, once a
standard is withdrawn, the patent letters submitted to the IEEE for that
standard are vacated.

I would like to take a vote to recommend administrative withdrawal at the
November Monday plenary meeting. If we do nothing, it has the same effect,
but I have always put these questions to vote for the record. I believe the
ISO 8802-4 version has already been withdrawn.

802.4-1990 (R1995) Standard for Token-Passing Bus Access Method and
Physical Layer Specifications
{Also 802.4h-1997 Standard Local and Metropolitan Area Networks:
Alternative Use of BNC Connectors and Manchester-Encoded Signaling Methods
for Single-Channel Bus Physical Layer Entities}
Recommendation: Administrative Withdrawal.

Subject: Standards Action Required/Administrative Withdrawal Pending
(C/LM)


27 September 2001


Jim Carlo,

C/LM has some standards that are due for their 5-year review by the end of
2001. {Standards have a five-year lifespan.}  An action is required of the
Sponsor.  Available choices:

a) reaffirm
b) revise
c) extend
d) withdraw

I MUST RECEIVE A RESPONSE BY THE 26 OCTOBER 2001 SUBMITTAL DEADLINE (FOR
THE DECEMBER 2001 STANDARDS BOARD MEETING SERIES).  IF NO RESPONSE IS
RECEIVED, THE STANDARDS IN QUESTION WILL BE PLACED ON THE AGENDA FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE WITHDRAWAL.

If the Sponsor chooses to revise or reaffirm and the action cannot be
completed by the submittal deadline, please send me an email requesting an
extension of the life of the current standard and notification of the
actions that are being taken.  {Please let me know approximately when the
reaffirmation will be submitted; or when the PAR for revision will be
submitted to NesCom and the estimated completion date for the revision
project.}

If there is no further interest in a standard and the Sponsor wishes it to
be withdrawn, you do not need to ballot.  It will be administratively
withdrawn in December 2001.

The standards in question are:

802.4-1990 (R1995) Standard for Token-Passing Bus Access Method and
Physical Layer Specifications
{Also 802.4h-1997 Standard Local and Metropolitan Area Networks:
Alternative Use of BNC Connectors and Manchester-Encoded Signaling Methods
for Single-Channel Bus Physical Layer Entities}
Recommendation: Administrative Withdrawal.
