Liaison Statement on change of MS Radio Access Capability IE

SMG3 WPA thanks SMG2 WPA for their liaisons (tdoc N1-99584) on the subject of “MS Radio Access Capability IE”.
SMG3 WPA has considered the request from SMG2 WPA for the change requested. In order to speed the work, SMG3 WPA has agreed the attached CRs (CR 04.08 A582r5 and CR 04.08 A584r3, tdocs N1-99588 and N1-99589) on this subject. These CRs are based on the CRs received from SMG2 WPA but have been modified as followed:
1.	Minimum and maximum lengths for the IE have been added in section 10.5.5.12a.
2.	The minimum and maximum length has also been corrected in the Attach Request and Routing Area Update Request messages in section 9.x.x.
3.	A comment has been added to indicate that the <A5 bits> and <Multislot capability> parts are mandatory in the 1st Access Capability.

SMG2 WPA is asked to endorse the attached change requests. Due to the time schedule for the completion of release 97, SMG3 WPA hope that these change requests can be accepted by SMG2 WPA without any more changes so as to be  available in time for SMG #29.
