No one does.
All BRC members are attending – meeting is quorate.
Phil presents Agenda:

- If resolution is complete
o Motion to approve resolutions
o Motion to approve starting next recirculation ballot
Motion to approve agenda:
Moved: Monique Brown
Seconded: Kuor-Hsin Chang
No discussion or objections – Motion approved.
Phil describes that document 15-11-0444-00-004g LB75 comments is posted and checks that everyone has had a chance to review the comments.
Phil recommend to resolve the comments 1,2,3,4in LB75 comment document with resolution:
Rejected as "Out of Scope" because they do not meet the criteria of paragraph 3.10.5 of document 15-10-235-8 (802-15 operations manual) which states:
For recirculation ballots, commenting is restricted to changed portions of the balloted proposed standard, portions of the proposed standard affected by the changes, or portions of the balloted proposed standard that are the subject of unresolved comments associated with Do Not Approve votes.
It is noted that these comments have been discussed and resolved during previous re-circulations of the 802.15 TG4g draft.
Motion to accept resolutions to comments 1,2,3,4 as proposed:
Moved: Kuor-Hsin Chang
Second: Monique Brown
No discussion or objections, motion carried by unanimous consent.
Phil describes that all the comments received were part of an APPROVE-WITH-COMMENTS vote. There were no new DISAPPROVE votes in LB75. Therefore there is no requirement for further recirculation. This is confirmed by Pat Kinney, 802.15 WG Vice Chair.
Phil will contact Bob Heile, 802.15 WG chair and ask that TG4g request for approval to move to Sponsor Ballot is included on 802 Executive Committee July meeting Agenda.
Phil will prepare the necessary supporting documentation.
We will discuss the San Francisco July Plenary meeting agenda during Thursday TG4g status call
There is no other business.
