IEEE 802.16 TGm Minutes Session #70, Dallas, USA Rakesh Taori Samsung Electronics

IEEE 802.16's Task Group m (TGm) held its twenty fourth session during the IEEE 802.16 Session #70 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Dallas, USA. The session was chaired by the TGm Chair Brian Kiernan, with Vice Chairs Phillip Barber and J.K. Fwu and acting secretary Rakesh Taori.

1) Monday, 8th November – Afternoon Session (TGm Opening) The TGm Chair called the TGm Opening session to order at 4:03 PM.

1. Introductions, admin and agenda approval The chair introduced the officers of TGm and presented the opening report for the session (802.16m- 10/0024). The chair informed the group that the return rate for the first sponsor ballot recirculation was 86% with an 89% approval rate. There were about 5 voters who had reportedly flipped. The chair introduced the plan for the week and reminded the group that the goal for the week is to resolve all the comments. The chair then showed the draft Agenda (29r1) and walked the group through the agenda. The chair announced that there would be two parallel sessions during the day on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning. In addition there would be an ad-hoc session on Monday and possibly one on Tuesday. The following topics were identified for ad-hoc discussion: a. MAC control The chair announced that the room assignment and comment handling for the main tracks and the ad- hoc sessions would be in accordance with the room allocation provided in the program leaflet. Next order of business was to assign the ad-hoc leads. Rakesh Taori was volunteered to chair the MAC control ad hoc. With the room allocation and the ad-hoc sessions clearly defined, and the comments duly assigned, the chair then moved to approve the draft agenda (802.16m-10/0029r1). The agenda was approved without any objection (4:50 pm).

2. Approve minutes of the previous session The chair opened the minutes from Session #69, 802.16m-10/0031, and put it up for discussion.. The chair then asked the group if there are any objections to approving the minutes of Session #69. Hearing no objection, the minutes of Session #68 (802.16m-10/0027r1) were approved without any opposition (4:51 pm).

3. IPR slides and Statements The chair presented the five slides included within http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.ppt. The patent policy information was provided to the task group and the chair provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of essential patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) that the participant believes may be essential for the use of that standard; No statements were received. The chair then showed the slides related to patent claims and made a request for disclosures, if any. None were received.

4. SDD Comment Resolution There was one SDD CR. Younbin Chang presented the comment. The accepted-modify proposed was accepted. There were no remaining SDD CRs, therefore no session was planned.

5. Attendance The chair announced tha the usual attendance procedure would be followed.

6. Guidance on Sponsor Ballot comment handling The Chair asked everyone to adhere to the process of Sponsor ballot. The chair reminded everyone that the outcome of the comment resolution pertaining to any comment shall be one of the three: 1. Agree – similar to what we have been labeling as “accept” in the LB stage, 2. Principle – similar to “Accepted Modify”, and 3. Disagree – similar to “Reject”.(Agree is similar to “Accept”, Principle is similar to “Accept- Modify”, and Disagree is similar to “Reject”). 4. There is no option to withdraw. There was a comment on collating the remaining disapproved comments. The chair responded by saying that this would be done at the end of the session. One way to achieve the goal would be to export a disapproved comments excel spreadsheet and sort t by names. The group agreed that we would need to update the database to cross off the disapproved comments from the voters who have approved. The vice chair informed the group that they can ask for deferral of their comments. However, the comments would only be deferred until all the comments are handled once. Subsequently, the chairs will go through the comments in the order that they were deferred. Late comments will be handled after the deferred comments (at the end). 7. Recess At 5:00 PM, the TGm common session was recessed until Thursday afternoon.
