Hi Gabor,

Apologize for the late "entry" but we would like to suggest a couple of minor but important clarifications to current requirement doc to minimize potential confusions:

* The final spec should be general enough to support all spectrum. Not just TV spectrum. In our discussions with several PAWS members,
   they all agree with this point but they point to the requirement doc
   as the limiting factor to generalize the spec.  For example in the
   Normative Requirements section 6.1 D7   " *The Data Model MUST
   support specifying a list of availablechannels.  The Data Model MUST
   support specification of thisinformation by channel numbers and...."*

 * Both FCC and Ofcom do not require "authentication of device". While
   the FCC requires the DB to check for "authorized" FCCID, device
   authentication is not required.  Current requirement doc requires
   the database to "authenticate" the master device as stated in the
   Normative Requirements section 6.1 P.4 " *The protocol MUST provide
   the ability for the database toauthenticate the master device.". *To
   be consistent with FCC and Ofcom spec, we believe the spec should
   allow for the implementation of strong authentication as an option.

Appreciate your thoughts on what's the best process to consider these refinements. If there's consensus, Google is more than happy to take on the work of providing specific text changes.

Thanks
Eric
