Thompson asked that item 4 be removed as the submittal was incomplete.

Heile indicated that this has been actively discussed. The submission is technically incomplete and so according to P&P, it was not submitted within the 30 day window. However, this PAR has generated a lot of discussion and he would like to continue the process so that the group can get comments to improve the PAR or that this work is not appropriate for 802.

Sherman asked for clarification on the process.

Nikolich said that we would do the crossgroup comments and responses.

Heile said that there is now a response to the missing item and he will circulate it to the EC.

Rosdahl said that we should not say that we will withdraw it from the Friday agenda, but rather put in comments that indicate that we would vote against it due the missing item.

Thompson said that the PAR process is an aggressive review time line. He is not in favor of the current process and would prefer a 5 pm Wednesday deadline for comments from the WGs.

Thaler said that 802.15 needs to reach out to 802.1 on how this will fit in the 802 architecture.

Sherman's current view is that it should be ruled out of order as incomplete.

Jeffree said that we are in danger of constructing process on the fly, in which case the deadline is Tuesday 5 pm.

Thompson said it would not be fair to put it through the same process as the other PARs

Nikolich said that we will withdraw the PAR from consideration. Heile will circulate a request for comments from the EC on the PAR with a time line for responses.
