First order of business is to generate a PAR document

The Chair presented a draft PAR for discussion.

The scope of the PAR was discussed. There was a discussion about complexity of potential MAC changes vs. the timing of 15.3a. The suggestions for scope are:

·  Changes required support implementation and interoperability

·  Correct errors and clarify ambiguities

·  Minor performance optimizations while preserving backwards compatibilities

·  Editorial Clarifications.

James Gilb will write the sentences for the PAR because he will be the technical editor.

The text for 5C were discussed and drafted. This document will be numbered and distributed for approval at Wednesday’s 802.15 plenary meeting.

The body started work on a presentation showing examples of the changes reflected in the PAR. Document 15-03-0516-00-0030-Draft-editiorial-and-enhancements.doc regarding potential MAC changes from the past two meetings were reviewed along with other suggestions from the body.

The changes will be collected by the technical editor via the email reflector and discussed in meetings. A how-to document was suggested. Using the ballot comment resolutions form was suggested.

2:21 Recessed until 8am Wednesday AM.

Move to recess

Moved: Gilb. Second Gifford. Approved by unanimous consent.

The chair was advised that this is a 3b meeting and could not approve the TG3 minutes. They will be approved tomorrow.

Moved to ask the chair to draft and send a call for submission with the technical editor based on our par scope and process documented in 04/0034r1.

Moved: Gilb. Second: Heberling. Discussion followed that included a request to submit comments ASAP so we don’t get a slug in March and to update the ballot comment resolution tool. We also need to consider a 3b reflector.
