Re: [Int-dir] Intdir early review of draft-ietf-ipwave-ipv6-over-80211ocb-34 - free or not free access to 802.11-2016 document

[Alexandre Petrescu <[e-mail]>]

a knowledgeable person tells in private we could share the document in a 
peer-to-peer manner.  I thank.

but there is still no free access to the IEEE 802.11-2016 document, so I 
keep "Description freely available" and I do not put "document freely 
available".

I will check back tomorrow.
