Dear Mr. Edmunds:

Thank you for your letter ballot comment on Project 1507-DT (FCSM).  INCITS T11 has carefully reviewed the comments.  The resolution of the letter ballot comments is described in document T11/02-748v0, which is enclosed for reference.  The resulting revision of FCSM is revision 6, documented as T11/03-004v0 on the web-site http://www.t11.org/.

Please notify us whether or not the response by the TC resolves the comment(s) by your member organization to your satisfaction, allowing you to withdraw the comment(s).  Please reply to: rsnively@brocade.com and ddonovan@itic.org

In accordance with ANSI requirements, we are advising you in this letter of the Appeals Processes.  The appeals process is stated below.

  _____

Appeals Processes

You may appeal an action of INCITS, its subgroups, or its Secretariat.  The INCITS Appeals Procedures are in Section 5.9 of the INCITS Standing Document SD-2.

As indicated in INCITS SD-2, you may further appeal to the ANSI Board of Standards Review according to the process described at:  http://public.ansi.org/ansionline/Documents/Standards%20Activities/American%20National%20Standards/Procedures,%20Guides,%20and%20Forms/ER2003.doc

Please note, in accordance with BSR Procedures, those objecting to the approvals or withdrawals are hereby notified of their right of appeal. The appeal must be based on due process or lack of consensus and include a statement as to why the BSR action should be modified.  The BSR will not render decisions on the relative merits of technical matters, but it shall consider whether due process was afforded technical concerns.

If you have not completed the appeals process at the standards developer, you are normally not eligible to appeal to the BSR.
