911. Overview 92The 802.15 Working Group (WG) is responsible for developing Wireless Personal Area 93Networks (WPANs) standards under the auspices of the IEEE Project 802 LAN/MAN 94Standards Committee (P802 LMSC). The 802.15 WG is one of several working groups 95reporting to the P802 LMSC. The 802.15 WG operates under the Operating rules of IEEE 96Project 802 ( ref [1]) and the hierarchy of rules under which IEEE Project 802 operates. In the 97event of any conflict between the Operating Rules of 802.15 and the Operating rules of IEEE 98Project 802, the Operating rules of IEEE Project 802 take precedence.

Project 802 Organizational Structure Figure 1

99The P802 LMSC Sponsor Executive Committee (SEC) directs the P802 LMSC. The SEC serves 100as the SEC for both the Ssponsor Bballot Ggroups as well as the Standards Development Groups. 101P802 LMSC has been divided into Working Groups, Technical Advisory Groups and, on a 102temporary basis, Executive Committee Study Groups to standardize technologies applicable to 103local and metropolitan area networks. See figure 1. 104A brief overview of the standards development process is provided in clause 7.1 of this 105document.

1062. Working Group

1072.1. Function 108The 802.15 WG's charter is to develop Physical layer and MAC sub-layer specifications for 109Wwireless Personal Area Networks based on [Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect 110(CSMA/CD) protocol] or on [Carrier Sense Multiple Access /Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA)] 111or [no qualification at all]. Standards efforts are carried out under Project Authorization 112Requests (PAR) approved by the IEEE Standards Board and assigned to 802.15 WG. Since the 113scope of standards work which comprises 802.15 WG activity may be widely dispersed in time, 114technology and structure, individual standards activities within 802.15 WG are, at the discretion 115of the 802.15 WG, carried out by Task Groups (TG) operating under, and reporting to, the

17Submission Page 6 Tom Siep/Ian Gifford, Texas 18Instruments/M/A-COMTexas Instruments 19五月, 2000 IEEE P802.15-00/161r099/001r6 116802.15 WG. A TG may in turn create Sub-Task Groups as necessary to accomplish the work of 117the TG. 118The 802.15 WG is chartered to: 119  define, maintain, and revise the 802.15 standards 120  develop new standards in a reasonable time frame within the scope of the P802 LMSC 121  forward these standards to ISO/IEC JTC1 122  maintain liaisons with other groups within P802 LMSC, and other relevant standards 123 setting bodies and Radio Spectrum regulatory bodies 124The 802.15 WG activities are administered by the WG Chair who is assisted in this task by the 125Working Group Advisory Core (see 2.3). 126The structure of 802.15 WG is illustrated in figure 2.

1272.2. WG Officers 128The rules and procedures for the election of, and the terms served by, the WG Chair and Vice- 129Chair are contained in the Operating rules of IEEE Project 802 (See ref [1], 5.1.2). Removal of 130the WG Chair or Vice-Chair is also covered by this document (See ref [1], 5.1.4.5).

1312.2.1. Chair 132As stated in P802 rules, the chair of the WG is responsible for presiding over WG Plenary 133sessions and combined TG meetings. The chair only votes on matters before the Working Group 134in cases where a deciding vote must be cast. 135In addition, minutes of TG meetings are to be reviewed by the TG chairs and made available for 136review by the WG one week after closure of the session.

1372.2.2. Vice Chair 138Unlike the chair, except when acting in the capacity of the chair, the vice chair, normally votes, 139and comments on issues with the same rights as all other voting members.

1402.2.3. Secretary 141The minutes of meetings taken by the Secretary (or designee) are to be provided to the WG chair 142in time to be available to the membership one week after close of the session. 143The minutes of the meeting are to include documents produced by the voting process and 144document list. Sufficient detail should be presented in the meeting minutes to allow a person 145knowledgeable of the activity, but not present at the discussion, to understand what was agreed 146to and why. Minutes shall be posted to the WG web site within 7 days of the close of the 147meeting. See Standards Companion for details on content and form of minutes.

Technical Editor 149The Technical Editor is responsible for organizing, maintaining the draft standards in the format 150used by the IEEE standards department. The editor is responsible for publishing updates of draft 151standards as soon after a session as possible, but not later than the set "last mailing date". 152Proof read and coordinates changes of documents edited by IEEE staff. 153Send the IEEE P802.15 Chairperson the following: 154 1. The Acrobat .pdf file of the standard 155 2. The FrameMaker .fm & .bookmif files of the standard 156 3. The Figures or graphic .eps files used in the standard

1572.2.5. Treasurer 158802.15 WG operates without treasurer and without treasury. Occasionally there may be a need 159for short-term funds associate with a particular meeting. Any debts and collections shall take 160place within that meeting. The sponsoring group/individual will be responsible for financing 161short-term expenses for interim meetings. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring 162group/individual to provide a statement of accounts if a meeting registration fee is levied on 163members.

1642.2.6. Assistants 165The WG Chair may appoint and dismiss assistants to any of the above offices, as the needs of the 166WG change.

1672.3. WG Advisory Core 168The 802.15 WG Advisory Core (AC) functions as the coordinating body supporting the Chair in 169formulations of policy and the performance of his duties. The 802.15 WG AC has no formal 170meetings, voting procedures, nor policies. The intent is to have the 802.15 WG AC operate in a 171consultative manner. There is adequate policy and procedural rigor imposed on WG 802.15 by 172the Operating rules of IEEE Project 802 and its hierarchy of rules.

1732.3.1. Function 174The function of the WG AC is to assist the WG Chair in performing the following tasks: 175  Providing procedural and, if necessary, technical guidance to the Task Groups and Study 176 Groups (SG) as it relates to their charters. 177  Overseeing WG, TG, and SG operation to see that it is within the scope of WG 802.15. 178  Examining TG draft standards proposed for submission to WG ballot. 179  Considering complaints of TG and SG members and their resolution at the Plenary, TG, 180 and SG.

23Submission Page 8 Tom Siep/Ian Gifford, Texas 24Instruments/M/A-COMTexas Instruments 25五月, 2000 IEEE P802.15-00/161r099/001r6 181  Managing WG 802.15 logistics, e.g. concurrent TG and SG meetings, etc. 182  Manage liaison activities between meetings of the WG.

1832.3.2. Membership 184Membership of the WG AC is composed of the following WG 802.15 officers: 185  WG Chair. 186  WG Vice-Chair and/or Co-Vice-Chairs. 187  Recording Secretary. 188  Task Group Chairs. 189  Study Group Chairs. 190  Technical Editor

1912.4. WG Membership 192The rules and procedures governing WG membership including establishment, retention, loss 193and rights are contained in the Operating rules of IEEE Project 802 (See ref [1], 5.1.3). The 194following additional requirement are imposed within WG 802.15: 195  TG and SG meetings do not count towards 802.15 WG voting rights unless they are held 196 in conjunction with a WG meeting. In that case they are treated as if the member 197 attended the parallel meeting within the WG. 198  To establish voting rights participants must request to become a voter during a 802.15 199 WG Opening or Closing plenary meeting when additions to the voter list are solicited by 200 the Chair from the "Nearly Voting Member" list. 201  To establish and retain voting rights participants must record and maintain complete 202 contact information in the 802.15 database 203  Voting rights are established by participation in 2 plenary meetings within 4 consecutive 204 plenary meetings. One interim meeting may be substituted for a plenary meeting. 205 Participation is defined as attending 75% of all meetings during an officially sanctioned 206 session of the WG 207  Voting rights may be lost by: 208 . Failure to pay conference fee 209 . Missing two out of three consecutive letter ballots 210 . Failure to maintain contact information 211In addition to the requirements for membership the following is highly recommended for most 212efficient exchange of information between members:

2202.5.1. Chair's Function 221The Chair of a WG may decide procedural issues or may put them to a vote of the WG. The WG 222participants and the Chair decide technical issues by vote. The WG Chair decides what is 223procedural and what is technical.

2242.5.2. WG Plenary Meetings 2252.5.2.1. Plenary Session 226The 802.15 WG plenary session is conducted three times a year as part of the P802 LMSC 227plenary sessions (see ref [5]). The 802.15 WG plenary session is a meeting of individuals

Typical Working Group 802.15 meetings during 802 Plenary week Figure 2 31五月, 2000 IEEE P802.15-00/161r099/001r6 228interested in developing and maintaining WPAN standards. Typically the 802.15 WG 229Opening/Closing plenary meetings are held between the opening and closing meetings of each 230P802 LMSC plenary (see figure 2). Occasionally there are TG or SG meetings during the 231Executive committee meeting on Monday morning and/or the weekend preceding the plenary 232(Note: meetings held before the opening of 802 plenary meeting are treated as interim meetings.) 233The 802.15 WG plenary is open to all registered P802 attendees. As is the case with all 802 234Working Group meetings only voting members have the right to participate in the discussions 235(see ref [1], 5.1.3.5). The Working Group Chairs may grant the privilege of observers to 236participate in discussions. 237The WG 802.15 Plenary is conducted by the Chair or the Chair's designated delegate. The 238802.15 WG Opening plenary meeting will include the presentation of the following information: 239  The roll call of current voters. 240  The agenda (which was distributed earlier) including any items requiring a vote. 241In addition the following information is on the 802.15 web site and should be read and 242understood by participants. 243  The existence of these operating rules and where they can be obtained. 244  The existence of the operating rules of IEEE Project 802 and where they can be obtained. 245  IPR and copyright notices 246The function of a plenary meeting is to gather and disseminate information and take action as 247follows: 248  Status reports from the Task Groups and Study Groups. 249  Liaison reports from other standards organizations, other IEEE 802 WGs and TAGs. 250  Reports on schedules for future plenary meetings. 251  Announcements and general news. 252  Vote on such matters that may be brought before it such as recommendations of its Task 253 Groups and the election of 802.15 officers. 254  Make recommendations for SEC action with respect to standards projects, P802, and 255 liaison matters. 256  Calls for interest in new work items. 257  Call for relevant patents 258  Items for subsequent meetings 2592.5.2.2. Interim Meetings 260The respective group schedules interim WG, TG, or SG meetings no later than the end of the 261prior plenary meeting. The date/time/place of the meeting(s) must be approved and announced

32Submission Page 11 Tom Siep/Ian Gifford, Texas 33Instruments/M/A-COMTexas Instruments 34五月, 2000 IEEE P802.15-00/161r099/001r6 262at the final WG Plenary and entered in the minutes of the meeting. Official actions of these 263meetings are valid if one of the following occurs: 264  A quorum is present 265  Confirmation vote passes at the next Plenary 266  Appropriate level of approval (75%+ for technical, 50%+ for procedural) from a letter 267 ballot that has been pre-authorized by the WG at the time of the meeting approval 268  Specific empowerment that has been pre-authorized by the WG at the time of the meeting 269 approval 2702.5.2.3. Ad Hoc and Liaison Meetings 271Any AC member may call Ad Hoc and Liaison meetings. They have no official status and do 272not count for voting rights purposes. Not binding actions may be taken at these meetings unless 273specifically chartered by the WG. Since they may involve negotiation of proprietary 274information, they may be closed to the general membership of the WG. The "Ad Hoc and 275Liaison" meeting Agendas will be approved by anyone in the Working Group AC prior to 276Working Group distribution as discussed in these Operating Rules.

2772.5.3. Voting 278There are two type of votes in the WG; votes on motions and votes in straw polls. 279Only the WG members can make and vote on motions. 280All participants may participate in a straw poll at the discretion of the WG Chair. 281The WG Chair defines motions as either technical or procedural. On a technical motion, a vote 282is carried by a minimum 75% approval of the sum of those voting "Approve" or "Do Not 283Approve". On a procedural motion, a vote is carried by a greater than 50% approval of the sum 284of those voting "Approve" or "Do Not Approve". 285The decision to define a motion as technical or procedural rests with the WG Chair. Generally a 286technical motion is defined as a motion that will materially affect the content of a draft. This is 287because a draft itself will ultimately be subject to a 75% majority vote at the LMSC ballot. 288The decision by the WG to submit a draft standard or a revised standard to the WG ballot group 289must be ratified as a technical vote.

2902.5.4. Minimum Meeting Notification Requirements 291A meeting notice and agenda must be distributed to all WG 802.15 members and observers at 292least 30 days prior to any WG meeting. This notice will include as a minimum the date, time, 293location, host, hotel details, travel details if necessary and a stated purpose.

Working Group 802.15 Organization Structure Figure 3 2942.5.5. Precedence of Operating Rules 295The rules governing Working Group Functions, Chair and Vice-Chair, Membership, meetings 296and the operation of a Working Group are provided by the Operating rules of IEEE Project 802 297and the hierarchy of rules under which IEEE Project 802 operates. These rules are all included 298in this document by reference and are not reproduced here, however the reader is encouraged to 299become familiar with these rules in addition to the rules provided in this document. If 802.15 300WG Operating Rules conflicts with the 802 Operating Rules, then the 802 Operating Rules shall 301take precedence.

3022.5.6. Maintenance of Operating Rules 303WG operating rules are a requirement of the Operating Rules of IEEE Project 802, which state 304that the WG chair shall: 305 "Establish Working Group rules beyond the Working Group rules set down by the 306 Executive Committee. These rules must be written and all Working Group 307 members must be aware of them."

308The WG 802.15 operating rules are to be made publicly available and posted in the WG 802.15 309area of the IEEE web site. Suggestions for improvements should be submitted to the Vice-Chair 310who will bring them up for discussion at the following plenary. 311Proposed changes to WG operating rules must be received no later than the day before the 312802.15 opening plenary. If there are any proposed changes a meeting shall be held to discuss the 313changes. The changes shall then be circulated at least one week prior to the next plenary and an 314announcement shall be made at that WG opening plenary that a vote shall be taken on the 315changes at the WG closing plenary (see below).

38Submission Page 13 Tom Siep/Ian Gifford, Texas 39Instruments/M/A-COMTexas Instruments 40五月, 2000 IEEE P802.15-00/161r099/001r6 316Proposed changes shall be in written form and should include: 317  The purpose, objective, or problem the proposed change is intended to address 318  The specific text of the rule change 319  The rationale for the chosen text 320These rules of operation of WG 802.15 can be changed by either: 321  A vote taken at the closing plenary of 802.15 WG, passing with a least 2/3 approval of 322 those voting either for or against.

323  An affirmative WG 802.15 letter ballot. This ballot shall adhere to the normal letter 324 ballot requirements ( see 2. 7 8 .2).

325The Chair shall decide which of the above methods shall be used. The SEC of the P802 326committee must approve all changes.

3272.5.7. Working Group Standard Procedures 328The following list describes the normal content and operations of Plenary and Interim P802.15 329meetings. 3301. The Working Group meetings start promptly at 8:300 a.m. and ends promptly at 5:00 p.m. or 331 per the approved meeting agenda. 3322. A Working Group "Session" refers to a set of meeting days that may not be contiguous. A 333 Working Group "Meeting" refers to a single day's meeting. The intermediate adjournments 334 from day to day, or the recesses taken during the day, do not destroy the continuity of the 335 meetings, which in reality constitute one session. 3363. The reports from the Task Groups and Study Groups deal primarily with issues related to 337 P802.15 as a whole or Liaison coordination. Reports of those items that will be covered in 338 the Plenary and Interim meetings should be minimized to avoid duplication of discussions. 3394. Robert’s Rules of Order are used in Working Group "Plenary and Interim" meetings. The 340 following items control debate procedures. The Chair or vote of the WG may modify them 341 for a specific period, as necessary. 342  Issues brought before the Full Working Group for resolution by vote should be phrased as 343 a motion and distributed, if possible, to the Working Group Chair before the meeting. 344  The maker of the motion has up to five minutes of uninterrupted time to explain the 345 motion and to answer questions about it. After this, the seconder of the motion will be 346 sought. 347  Each Working Group member has two minutes of uninterrupted time to state an opinion 348 about the motion. It is not necessary that all two minutes be used. 349  The debate is confined only to the current motion.

41Submission Page 14 Tom Siep/Ian Gifford, Texas 42Instruments/M/A-COMTexas Instruments 43五月, 2000 IEEE P802.15-00/161r099/001r6 350  If the Working Group extensively modifies a TG’s motion the Task Group Chair may 351 withdraw the motion and present it to the Working Group at the next meeting or session 352 (which ever comes first). 3535. When the Working Group meeting on the evening fails to cover all agenda items (except for 354 informational items), the clock stops at 5:00 p.m. the Chairman has the discretion to extend 355 that meeting agenda time to allow the Working Group the necessary time to resolve the 356 agreed to agenda items.

3572.6. Submission of Papers
