Minutes page 7 Stephen McCann, RIM July 2011 doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/1004r1
21.1. There have been 7 PARs available for review this week. This document comprises the IEEE 802.11 comments that were posted prior to 5pm yesterday (Tuesday 19th July). Note the first PAR on the list (802.1ASbt) has been assigned to 802.3. 21.2. IEEE 802.15 and IEEE 802.22 have acknowledged reception of these comments and they will now work on them, 21.3. Q: In 60 GHz there’s no problem with interference anyway. There appears to be 3 or 4 IEEE 802 WGs looking at the same bands. I’m concerned about 15.4m there’s no range or boundaries. Compare it to 15.4g, where 5km range is stated. 21.4. Chair: We have several ways to influence these PARs. Can we refine the purpose and or scope for these groups? Remember that I can also vote on your behalf in the ExCom meeting. Thirdly we can influence these PARs through co-existence issues. 21.5. Q: Perhaps we should remove the “distinct identity” criterion within the PAR document? 21.6. Vice-chair: Remember we are reviewing these PARs to help people out. You can explain why they are wrong or help them craft their PARs and 5C document to re-define their boundaries. 21.7. Q: I say let the best radio solution win.

29.2. Letters of Assurance (LoA) (11-11-0830r1 slide #35) 29.2.1. None received this week, but please look at the LoA database.
29.3. IEEE Shop (11-11-0830r1 slide #36) 29.3.1. A lot of old drafts have now been removed from the IEEE shop. As far as we know, everything is now correct. 29.3.2.

29.5. TGaa chair
Minutes page 10 Stephen McCann, RIM July 2011 doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/1004r1
29.5.1. Chair: We are losing the TGaa chair this week as he moves to a new position within his company. 29.5.2. TGaa chair: We have one volunteer, Graham Smith. 29.5.3. Chair: Ok, so I would like to recognize Graham as the new TGaa chair.
29.6. Executive Committee Workshop (November 2011) 29.6.1. Chair: This will be held during the weekend following the November 2011 meeting. Please can you pass any issues or problems to me. 29.6.2. Q: How about “international positioning of IEEE 802”, as we appear to be falling back to default USA meetings? 29.6.3. Chair: Yes sure.
29.7. CWPAN 29.7.1. Chair: Some of us have been invited to a post interim meeting following the earlier IEEE 802 meeting in Singapore (March 2011). This especially relates to TGad. The idea is to have a meeting in Beijing at the end of September. A couple of us may attend.
30. RAC update
30.1. Looking at splitting the registries numbers into Manufacturer’s ID and MAC address prefix. 30.2. Also looking at how the RAC fits into the IEEE. Perhaps a sub-committee, but we’re not sure yet. 30.3. There was a submission about counterfeiting. Minor manufacturers tend to copy MAC addresses from other pieces of equipment. This is only noticeable when you connect them up to the same hub. The problem is that the RAC has no authority to sort this out. How can you prevent people selling these items? 30.4. Perhaps the RAC can be brought into the draft review process. Possibly the RAC can be informed about the MECs. 30.5. A: There is an IEEE 802.11 ANA. The JTC1 committee asked what is its relationship to the RAC. I think they are separate, but I’m checking with Glenn Parsons (the RAC chair) just to make sure. The IEEE 802.11 ANA is just for internal IEEE 802.11 numbers.
31. Meeting Location
31.1. Chair: Can I have a show of hands to see who is in favor of returning to this location again? 31.2. For: 59, Against: 0 31.3. Q: Although we have these polls, I’m not sure if anything is done. The feedback about the Hawaii meeting venue does not seem to have achieved anything. 31.4. Chair: Sure, but sometimes it is venue cost that drives the decisions. 31.5. Vice-chair: We do try to take these results into account, but we also have to consider costs. We also have to consider what the other IEEE 802 WGs want to do. 31.6. Q: Do we have a written set of criteria for choosing locations, apart from cost? 31.7. Chair: There are some small rules, such as avoiding holiday locations. The details are usually in the hotel contracts, such as internet access. We’ll add an item to the September 2011 agenda.
Minutes page 11 Stephen McCann, RIM July 2011 doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/1004r1
32. Documentation & Attendance
32.1. Vice-chair: IEEE-SA has been creating an “eTools” package. In doing so, there have been a couple of issues with the documentation and attendance servers. 32.2. Initially this week, the rules were changed for the documentation server, so that only IEEE 802.11 voters could actually update documents. This was quickly fixed, but there will be further developments. 32.3. IMAT is the attendance server. This week it stayed in its New Jersey location, so that is has been remote. This has caused some issues, especially regarding the speed of connection. 32.4. I would like to have some very quick straw polls about wasted time. 32.5. More than 1 hr: 3 32.6. More than 30 mins: 12 32.7. More than 15 mins: 30 32.8. More than 7.5 mins: 40 32.9. More than 3.75 mins : 40 32.10. Vice-chair: Therefore I think this is a rather unreasonable situation. 32.11. Q: Please can you update the meeting attendance stats that were sent out earlier in the week? They are very useful. 32.12. Vice-chair: Yes I will do.
33. WG Reports
33.1. Publicity 33.1.1. The 11z press release for EC approval has already been approved by the IEEE 802.11 WG, although we will ask for approval of the 11s later in this meeting, so it can also go forward for EC approval.

34.9.2. No questions
34.10. TGaf (slide #57) 34.10.1. Comment resolution from LB171 and updated the timeline. There will be a co- located ad-hoc with TGac in the same venue, prior to the September 2011 meeting, to discuss how the shared PHY will actually work. 34.10.2. No questions
34.11. TGah (slide #64) 34.11.1. Good progress this week, with the generation of some output documents. 34.11.2. Moved the project end date to be 4 months later that will change the timeline. 34.11.3. Chair: We may need to consider the scope of TGah to actually produce something, as comments from ISO could bloat the scope of work. I think we need to discuss this further at a future meeting. It may be more efficient to have parallel projects covering some of the separate aspects that TGah is trying to cover. 34.11.4. TGah chair: Sure, there are a lot of use cases that we’re looking at. 34.11.5. Comment (C): Some groups like TGaf have stated what the final output should be. Perhaps TGah should repeat this exercise.
34.12. TGai (slide #68) 34.12.1. There were 12 technical submissions this week, so a lot of work was done. 34.12.2. The timeline remains the same. 34.12.3. Please note the change in the teleconference time change. This has been done for people located in the Bay Area, California, USA. 34.12.4. No questions.
34.13. JTC 1 Ad hoc (slide #76) 34.13.1. Lots of meetings this week, and we were delighted to have the SC6 chair present. 34.13.2. There will be some material generated for SC6 in the September 2011 meeting. 34.13.3. No questions
34.14. Regulatory Ad Hoc (slide #88) 34.14.1. Various regulatory discussions this week also explaining some of the IEEE 802.18 activities. 34.14.2. Chair: I just want to point out that this report is really a combination of the REG Ad Hoc report and the IEEE 802.18 liaison. 34.14.3. Chair: I would also like to know which document has which deadline please? 34.14.4. A: There are two categories: 34.14.5. Working Party 1a/1b: June 2012 (documents 49, 51, 52, 53) 34.14.6. Working Party 5a: November 2011 (documents 54, 55, 56, 57) 34.14.7. Document 50 is a preliminary report that is a working group 1a document.

39. Working Group Motions (New Business) (11-11-1076r1)
39.1. TGaf Ad Hoc (slide #18) 39.1.1. Authorize TGaf to hold an ad-hoc meeting on September 14-16, 2011 in Seoul, ROK with the preferred venue being LG Electronics for the purpose of advancing the TGaf draft prior to the September IEEE 802 Wireless Interim in Okinawa, Japan. Moved: Peter Ecclesine , Seconded: Mike Montemurro
Minutes page 18 Stephen McCann, RIM July 2011 doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/1004r1
39.1.2. C: Note that 4 out of 16 people said they could attend. We have now sent out another email on the TGaf reflector. This is to be held at the same time and venue as the TGac ad- hoc. 39.1.3. C: I’m planning to go to the TGac ad hoc, but I don’t want to be distracted by the co- located venue. 39.1.4. Chair: The motion does not mention the co-location. 39.1.5. C: I actually voted no on the TGac motion, as I don’t think either group requires an ad- hoc. 39.1.6. C: I have a similar concern. I don’t think that 4 people is enough. 39.1.7. C: I would vote “Yes” on this motion, if there are explicitly no joint meetings with TGac. Previously the TGaf ad-hoc has been on a different day from the TGac ones. 39.1.8. C: I think this is a good opportunity to use some electronic tools for collaboration. I can volunteer to provide such tools. 39.1.9. C: I assume that some people from the host would also attend. 39.1.10. TGaf vice-chair: Ok, so I know of 6 people who would probably attend. 39.1.11. C: What about the TGac ad hoc? 39.1.12. TGac chair: Sure, but we have 20 people who would attend. 39.1.13. Chair: Perhaps we can move forward with this motion and then I can ask the TGac and TGaf chairs to liaise between them. 39.1.14. C: I’ve attended Ad hoc meetings with only 2 people and they can be very productive indeed. I think we should allow the work to continue forward. 39.1.15. For: 21, Against: 5, Abstain: 21 (Motion passes 80.77%)
39.2. JTC1 liaison announcement to SC6 (slide #18) 39.2.1. Motion 39.2.2. The IEEE 802.11 WG approves the following text be liaised to SC6 by the 802.11 WG Chair 39.2.3. The IEEE 802.11 WG has previously committed to liaise Sponsor Ballot draft standards to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 to allow SC6 National Bodies an early opportunity to review standards that may be submitted to SC6 for ratification under the PSDO agreement. 39.2.4. However, the IEEE 802.11 WG understands that a Letter Ballot draft of IEEE 802.11ac may be of interest to the National Body members of ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6, particularly as they consider the proposal from the China National Body for a New Project to develop a standard for an alternate PHY and MAC addressing similar market requirements, similar techniques and the same targeted spectrum. 39.2.5. It is the intent of the IEEE 802.11 WG to liaise a version of the draft of IEEE 802.11ac as soon as the draft passes 802.11 Working Group Letter Ballot. The 802.11ac Task Group is projected to finalize a letter-ballot by year end 2011. 39.2.6. Moved: Rolf de Vegt, 2nd: Andrew Myles 39.2.7. Chair: I would speak in favor of this motion. 39.2.8. C: What are we actually moving here? 39.2.9. Chair: We are moving to liaise this text to SC6, stating that a document will be sent to them later in the year. Please read “to liaise” as “forward”. 39.2.10. C: The idea is that the text in this motion will be sent to SC6. 39.2.11. For: 48, Against: 0, Abstain: 0 (Motion passes 100%)
40. Working Group PARs (11-11-0997r1)
Minutes page 19 Stephen McCann, RIM July 2011 doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/1004r1
40.1. There were 7 PARs to review this week. This report is a summary of the discussions from the IEEE 802.11 PAR meetings. 40.2. Q: There is now an r14 version (22-11-0059r14) for the IEEE 802.22a PAR. It also appears that distinct identify is meaningless in this PAR and also the IEEE 802.15.4m PAR. 40.3. Chair: We will prepare some more material on these topics for the ExCom meeting. Our current position is to vote for both Pars during the ExCom meeting. 40.4. Q: I understand that the PAR purpose statement is no longer required. 40.5. A: If you have one in the document, then you have to state it in the PAR. 40.6. Vice-chair: r14 is the final 802.22a PAR document.
41. Working Group Motions (New Business) (11-11-1076r1)
41.1. TGaa RAC request (slide #23) 41.1.1. Request the RAC to assign a Standards Group MAC Address from the universally administered address block for use with the TGaa mechanism “Groupcast with Retries” (GCR) 41.1.2. Moved: Alex Ashley , Seconded: Ganesh Venkatesan 41.1.3. C: I would note that this motion does not have a deadline and this is typically done at the sponsor ballot stage. 41.1.4. C: TGaa discovered that a local defined address is not enough, so we need to approach the RAC for a universal one. 41.1.5. Chair: Can you go to RevCom without this number being defined? 41.1.6. A: Not sure. 41.1.7. C: This is an action that needs to be done to request it? 41.1.8. C: The motion is ok, but I just want TGaa to realize that they have to wait until sponsor ballot. 41.1.9. For: 46, Against: 0, Abstain: 0 (Motion passes 100%)
42. Future Venues (11-11-0830r1 slide #38)
42.1. Chair: The March 2012 will be in Hawaii, Waikoloa. However, the September 2012 meeting will now be held in Palm Springs. 42.2. C: With the exception of Okinawa, Japan, I would like to note that every upcoming meeting is in the USA. This really shows our lack of international meetings. 42.3. C: July 2013 should be in Geneva, Switzerland. The EC is trying to have one meeting outside of North America (NA) each year and strictly speaking Hawaii is not in NA, so it has become a bit of an excuse. The venue organizers are trying to sort this out and also for the wireless interim meetings? 42.4. C: What is the progress on the confusion of the September 2012 meeting? 42.5. Chair: Nothing has come back yet, but this may be discussed in the EC today. 42.6. C: I know why NA is constantly chosen. The reality is that we are not international. IETF and Wi-Fi Alliance are able to rotate through NA, Europe and Asia every meeting. At the SC6 meeting, it was stated that IEEE 802 is not international, as all our meetings “appear” to be held in NA. 42.7. C: We should have 2 of our 4 interim meetings outside of NA. 42.8. Chair: One of the issues is the registration fees. 42.9. So let’s have a couple of straw polls: 42.10. Is there any objection to paying $1000 registration fees: 9
Minutes page 20 Stephen McCann, RIM July 2011 doc.: IEEE 802.11-11/1004r1
42.11. How many would not care: 29 42.12. Chair: Ok, that’s interesting. 42.13. C: Please note that we have had two meetings outside of NA this year. I believe that meetings outside of NA will reduce the number of members attending. 42.14. C: Yes, meetings outside of NA will result in a change of membership, both additions and reductions. 42.15. C: The other issue with Waikoloa, Hawaii, is that it is difficult to get to. It’s easier to get from Sydney to San Francisco than Sydney to Waikoloa. I would like to mention that airline tickets form a large part of the overall cost. 42.16. Chair: So we should look at overall cost optimization. 42.17. C: At most of our meetings, we’re actually using multiple hotels already.
43. Other New Business
43.1. Critical Dates 43.2. Chair: please look at slide #42 for some critical dates.
43.3. Pre-motions 43.4. C: I would like to discuss the issue of pre-motions and full-motions used by some Task Groups. I would like these definitions to be added to the IEEE 802.11 Operations Manual (OM) in the September 2011 meeting. 43.5. Vice-chair: I would like to actually ask the Task Groups to stop using these terms. 43.6. C: I would like to state that these new straw poll definitions have helped the work. 43.7. Chair: Ok, nothing is illegal here, but something should be done to remove the confusion. 43.8. Vice-chair: My concern is that a pre-motion has a greater standing than a straw poll. People are interpreting them as being binding. This shouldn’t happen. In addition, pre-motions are occurring in teleconferences, which appear to be directing the groups. 43.9. C: I understand that IEEE 802.11 straw polls are different from Robert’s Rules. Pre- motions are a special sort of straw poll. With proper training, this confusion can be cleared up. 43.10. C: Pre-motions are only used in ad-hocs, not in teleconferences. 43.11. Chair: Ok, so even the experienced members seem to be confused, which we should resolve at a future meeting. 43.12. C: The process is similar to what occurred in TGn.
43.13. Attendance 43.14. Vice-chair: Please can you do your Attendance.
43.15. Mandatory Draft Review (MDR) process 43.16. Also I think the new MDR process, replacing the old MEC, should be put into the IEEE 802.11 Operations Manual (OM) at some point.
44. Next Meeting
44.1. The next meeting (#129) is at the 44.2. Okinawa Convention Centre, Okinawa, Japan, from September 18th – 23rd 2011: http://arinex.com.au/ieee2011
