I am not aware of this Liaison Statement having arrived through the usual channels, hence my re-posting it to the group in this message. This topic will be discussed by P1387 at the IEEE meeting immediately preceding the October WG15 meeting, and hopefully a suitable answer can be generated for consideration be WG15 for forwarding as a response to WG4.
