Re: [ANSI Issue2]
Care to speculate who will object to what? Hope they can iron things out. sg
steve,
Good to hear from you. I see your keeping up too. You had to fight your way through 152 pages of 7e147r63.doc to find the Summary of changes from Issue 1 to Issue 2. Good work Watson!
If I "were" to speculate on who was objecting to what, it might then seem I would be conceding to admit Steve G's statement to be correct:
SG> The point was that even though Issue II is out for letter ballot, a voting member has posited the unlikelihood of it's passing because of having too many "holes". MOT, whose chips are still lagging, put this out (from ANSI) to make a little noise, however unsubstantial, in DMT's/CG's direction.
Although there were surely some objections, and if I had to venture a guess as to who, IMHO I would look to those who have the most to gain by delaying Issue 2. This in order to stall for time while they continue to "try" and play catch-up.
On the "What" if you are inquisitive enough to have found 7e147r63, then you know there are 10's of thousands of issues one could object to.
But rather than dwell on Mr. Doom and Gloom's view point, I go with the facts at hand. As we all know the T1E1.4 is democracy and not a dictatorship, and one voting members comments do not rule the day. If I read SG's post correctly, he's stating that voting member is MOT. Though I could well be wrong, I seriously doubt that MOT would impede Issue 2's approval, plus the fact that MOT is not on my list of vendors that need to play catch-up, in that area I'd have to look it up in my X2-Files < VBG >
Any "Holes" will more than likely be placed on the living list, for a possible Issue 3 ADSL standard. Perhaps you might take a peak at 7e14mio3.txt. (Fact in Hand)
You'll find that contrary to SG's one man band, The Working Group unanimously recommends that the Plenary approve the Issue 2 T1.413 document be sent to Letter Ballot.
Time will tell.
Now if I could just talk Mr. Peabody into converting his WayBack Machine into a WayForward Machine we'd all be a lot richer in a year.
Thanks for the thought provoking question steve. JW@KSC aka Sherman 8^) |
