The comments and tentative resolutions in 11-17/0898r14 were discussed.

CID 3017 – Decided not to create a term for the repeated phrase.

Resolution: Revise. Just change non-SYNRA MPDUs" to "MPDUs with an RA other than a SYNRA".

CID 3020 –

Resolution: Revise. Make this change globally.

CID 3016 – Decided to add a NOTE.

Resolution: REVISED: Add a bullet to 11.3.5.3 after bullet "h)" saying "An AP or PCP may refuse GLK association based on local policy and, if so, shall return the GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED ResultCode." and add GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED to the list of ResultCode values for MLME-ASSOCIATE.response in 6.3.7.5.2. Remove GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED from the Reason Code table. And add GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED to the Status Code table in 9.4.1.9 with meaning "The STA is not authorized to use GLK per local policy." Add a NOTE after bullet "h)": "For example, there might be a list of authorized GLK peers or clients or a limit on the number of GLK peers or clients and the peer or client is not on that list or its acceptance would exceed the limit."

CID 3007 – After considerable discussion, decided to change the 2nd sentence of the following paragraph.

Resolution: Revise: Unicast to all recipients by the originator is another mechanism that could be used (see following paragraph in P802.11ak D5.0). The combination of this repeated unicast, or use of SYNRA, comprise "selective reception", and therefore are the complete set of options for the AP (it must use one of those). Change the second sentence in the following paragraph to: "As an alternative to the use of a SYNRA, selective reception includes sending a copy of the Data frame to each intended receiver using individually addressed MPDUs."

Reviewed and confirmed resolutions from 11-17/0898r14 of CIDs 3001, 3002, 3003, 3004, 3005, 3006, 3008, 3009, 3010, 3011, 3012, 3013, 3014, 3015, 3018

CID 3019 – after some discussion, decide to reject.

Resolution: Reject: The NOTE does list several things not defined in 802.11 and the two references are provided as information to assist the reader. The BRC believes this NOTE is sufficient.

11-17/0898r15 incorporating these changes was uploaded.

Motion [63]: To adopt the comment resolutions in 11-17/0898r15, direct the editor to incorporate them into a P802.11ak draft D6.0, and initiate a 10-day sponsor ballot recirculation on D6.0.
