The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802.11.</p><p>Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http:// ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair <[email protected]> as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at <[email protected]>.</p><p>Minutes of January CBP-SG Interim Session page 1 Dee Denteneer, Kevin Rowett January 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0225r0</p><p>January 16, 2006</p><p>Discussion leader: Peter Ecclesine: [email protected] +1 408-527-0815</p><p>Attendance Dee Denteneer (Recording Secretary) Peter Ecclesine Steve Shellhammer Lothav Stibov</p><p>Chair called meeting to order at 10:40 AM</p><p>Session Report is Closing Report 802-11-06/0066r1</p><p>Reviewed Agenda</p><p>Read IEEE patent policy The required statements about the IEEE patent and antitrust policy were read by the chair Peter Ecclesine.
