Re: [802SEC] [STDS-802-16] Call for Contributions regarding Potential Bridging Project 802.16k

["Roger B. Marks" <r.b.marks@ieee.org>]

DJ,

Very good question.

I'm using an Acrobat markup feature. When you put your mouse over the 
strikeout, you should see the proposed replacement text:

"This project amends IEEE 802.1D in order to support bridging of the 
IEEE 802.16 MAC. One subclause is added to Clause 6 to describe the 
service interface mapping between the Internal Sublayer Service and 
the 802.16 MAC service. Minor changes are made elsewhere in the 
document, including priority mapping in Clause 7 and the PICS 
Proforma in Annex A."

This may require Acrobat Reader 7.
