Thanks Geoff, sounds good.

I'll repeat the words Gus Solomon said to me after getting my Ph.D. - for a week we'll call you Doctor and after that we'll go back to calling you (not suitable for reflector email).   Gus had a great wit (and a pretty good singing voice), and is missed.

Dear DOCTOR Zimmerman
(I noticed my error after pushing send, but neglected to send a correcting message:))

The answer is:
It is always easier at RevCom if the draft title exactly matches the title in the PAR.
If your goal is to have a bulletproof submittal package that produces no discussion at RevCom,
then match them exactly.

Therefore my resolution to the comment would be to change the draft title to match the project title on the PAR.

(Clause titles, which are more permanent because they live after integration with the base standard, are not controlled.
  In the long run amendment titles almost disappear completely.)

Cheers,

Geoff

Geoff - David and I discussed this prior to putting in the comment. As I understand it, The title of the amendment must be within the scope of the par (which includes Mac parameters). It was looking at the par that sensitized me to this - the par title includes the Mac whereas the one on the draft didn't. Question is, does the amendment need to EXACTLY match the title in 2.1 of the par:

2.1 Title: Standard for Ethernet Amendment: Media Access Control Parameters, Physical Layers and Management Parameters for 2.5 Gb/s and 5 Gb/s Operation


I do appreciate your advice in this, as my objective is to keep the draft correct within the rules.

Dave-

If you wish to accept Mr. Zimmerman's comment
then you will have to put in a PAR modification package
along with the REVCOM submittal package.

The title of the project is controlled by the PAR.
One of the things that revCom checks is whether the title on the draft matches the title on the PAR.

Best regards,
