Re: SUO: Updated SUMO??
Bob,
As Frank has quite clearly explained though, that wouldn't be a
standards effort. If that's the process you want to follow, ok, but an
IEEE group is not the place to do it. IEEE specifies a different
process. Start a discussion group or industry consortium effort elsewhere.
