12 July 1995

1.Summary of Voting on P802.1j/D4 Working Group Ballot
  Returned:  13 Voting Members out of 21  =  62%
             Also 5 Voting Liaisons and one Contributing Member
             Total 19, including 3 abstentions
  Approval:  14 VM, CM and VL out of 16  =  88%   (before comment resolution)
             16 out of 16  =  100% (after resolution of accompanying comments)

2.Disposition of Comments on P802.1j/D4 Ballot
  Comments were received accompanying the disapproval votes
  from Hal Keen and Dave Carlson, and accompanying approval
  votes from Alan Chambers, Paul Cowell, Rosemary Slager
  and Robin Tasker.

2.1    Comments from Hal Keen
  Items 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14 and 15: Accepted as proposed.
  Item 2:    Accepted with modification. The attributes are
    not misplaced, see the comment on the first one, but they
    do need to be introduced by the keywords "GROUP ELEMENTS"
    (and there is a comma missing between the attributes).
  Item 5:    Superseded. The Entry Index attribute was
    deleted at an earlier stage, but that decision appears to
    have been flawed since the mapping of the Read Filtering
    Database Entry Range operation (ISO/IEC 10038, 6.7.5.4)
    requires the attribute, or an equivalent. The attribute
    is to be reinstated, and the allocation for the arc
    should therefore remain.
  Item 9:    Not accepted. There is something amiss in the
    grammar of the proposed replacement, and not in the
    existing text (although it does read a little awkwardly).
  Item 11:   Concern accepted, but a more radical rewording
    is proposed in order to describe the correspondence in
    question more accurately.
  Item 12:   There is in fact a subtle distinction between
    the use of "Not required", in the Read operations, and
    "Not used", in the Set operations: no change proposed.
  Item 13:   Superseded by reinstatement of the Entry Index
    attribute (see item 5), which will be described in 7.8.4,
    thus making the references to 7.8.5 correct.

2.2    Comments from Dave Carlson
    (These comments all concerned editorial consistency of
    capitalization, spacing and punctuation. The need for
    such consistency is fully accepted, but some of the
    specific changes proposed need a different detailed
    disposition in order to achieve the required
    consistency.)
  Item 1:    Pagination will be corrected (word-processor
    artefact)
  Items 2, 3:    Capitalization of titles in the References
    clause will follow that of the actual documents, where a
    broadly lower-case policy is modified by a number of
    specific exceptions (including "Data Link Layer" for
    ISO/IEC 10742, item 3).
  Item 4:    ISO and IEEE publications use periods at the
    ends of references, so no change.
  Item 5;    Accepted.
  Item 6:    Accepted with modification: "Data Link
    Subsytem" also needs capitals, for consistency with
    ISO/IEC 10742.
  Item 7:    Accepted.
  Item 8:    Accepted, plus capitalization of "Data Link",
    per OSI layer-name usage.
  Item 9:    Accepted.
  Items 10, 11, 12 (ARC column):Not accepted, the existing
    capitalization is that used in ISO/IEC 10742.
  Item 12 (PURPOSE column):Same as item 6.

2.3    Comments from Alan Chambers, Paul Cowell and Robin Tasker
  Accepted: the references will be updated, in particular
    replacing IEEE Std 802.1B by ISO/IEC 15802-2.

2.4    Comment from Rosemary Slager
  Accepted: the usual IEEE 802 Foreword and full Participants Lists
    will be provided, but perhaps not in the next draft.
