12. Motion to the Working Group Move to seek approval from NESCOM to change the 802.15.3 PAR as follows: In TITLE, change “Part 15:” to “Part 15.3:”. TG Motion by Gilb, second by Bain. Passed by unanimous consent. Mover: James Gilb Second: John Barr For – Against – Abstain – Dr. John R. Barr, Motorola

13. TG3 SB Comment Status • Wednesday – 10AM • More than 50% of the technical comments have been resolved • 03/033rX Comment Database posted daily • 03/032rX Running Comments posted daily Dr. John R. Barr, Motorola

14. Typical Comment Resolution Clause 06; Sub clause Figure 3; Page 23; Line 38; Comment Type: E; Comment: Figure 3 represents an incomplete two dimensional model of the 15.3 MAC and interfaces. It is too dull and uninteresting to capture the interest of the casual reader. Consequently, I recommend that Figure 3 be replaced. Suggested Remedy: Please replace the current figure with the attached JPEG. Members of the XSI engineering staff used an expensive hi-tech modeling tool to develop a multi-colored, 3-dimensional model that illustrates in a more exciting and interesting way the interrelationships of the various 15.3 Protocol components. In addition, you will note the DVD player atop the APP layer of the PNC is using the 15.3 Protocol to transmit it's video content to the HDTV atop the APP layer of the DEV receiving the video stream from the PNC. Also note the happy satisfied consumer viewing his/her favorite movie. ADH Dr. John R. Barr, Motorola
