Note that Disapprove votes MUST be accompanied by one or more Technically Binding comments, and vice versa.

It is copyrighted by the IEEE and is for your review and balloting purposes only. It should not be copied or otherwise distributed. The ballot/comment executable with instructions is available at: http://www.ieee802.org/17/member/draftballots/d2_0/P802_17D2_0_CRD_Win.zip or http://www.ieee802.org/17/member/draftballots/d2_0/P802_17D2_0_CRD_Mac.sit The comment executable is designed for systems capable of running Windows or Macintosh based programs.

The draft is also, however, being circulated to those who have been participating in the standardization process but are not members of the Working Group, in order to provide a wide review of the document and to solicit comments. You should also be aware that Technical-Binding (TB) comments are not required to be tracked amongst non-Working Group members. If a TB is entered by a person who is not a Working Group member, and this person is not at attendance and readily available at the interim meeting to review the Working Group's response, we will not obligate the editors or staff of 802.17 to track down the commenter and obtain the sign-off.
