Re: [802SEC] Path to resolution of 802.11 VHT60 PAR

["Roger B. Marks" <r.b.marks@IEEE.ORG>]

Steve,

At the EC meeting, I expressed concern not just with the definition of  
"coexistence" but about the definition of "ensure coexistence."  
According to Merriam-Webster <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ensure 
>, the word 'ensure' "may imply a virtual guarantee." Is this the  
intent?

Also, 802.15.2 says that coexistence is "The ability of one system to  
perform a task in a given shared environment where other systems have  
an ability to perform their tasks and may or may not be using the same  
set of rules." As I understand the definition, it cannot be applied  
unless the "shared environment" is "given". So it seems to be that it  
ought to be specified in the PAR. It also seems to me that the "tasks"  
need to be defined as well.

Roger
