3. The following statement has been made from Dave Ringle, IEEE legal council:
“There is no duty to use/read the patent slides developed by PatCom. They are a tool that was created to aid WGs in doing the Call for Patents.
The important thing is that the Call for Patents must occur at every standards developing meeting. The minutes must record that the Call occurred and any responses.
Please see the following:
• IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual 6.3.2 at
• FAQ 4 and 5 at ”
4. Chair: This is now IEEE 802.11 policy.

4. Attendance server
1. 11-07-0767r0 is the document describing the new documentation system.
2. The IEEE 802.11 vice-chair will send out an email later to inform the membership that this will come on line next week. Please note that the existing will cease to be used after 22nd May 2007 @23:59 ET. Hence please be careful with new numbers over the weekend, as these may not exist within the new system. The system will be shut down until 24th May 2007 @23:59 ET, when the new system will come online. The website will then automatically re-direct to the new one.
Questions:
3. What about revisions to document numbers.
4. Answer: These will not be affected.
5. Thank you all very much for doing this. What about external/local servers at future meetings.
6. Answer: Similar to how it is now.
7. What about the ftp site?
8. Answer: Not sure about this, but ftp will not be allowed by the IEEE because of security concerns.
9. May I have a straw poll: “Delay the switch to the new document system, until ftp is allowed”.
10. Chair: No, I’m going to disallow that, as we have to move on with the documentation system. I respectfully decline your request for your straw poll, as it is imperative that we move to the new system because the existing system is seriously failing and members cannot be disenfanchised
11. I know that IEEE staff are working hard, but I now have to switch methods as I cannot use ftp downloads.
12. Chair: I will ask IEEE directly about this situation.
13. Subsequent email from IEEE 802.11 vice-chair, on chair’s behalf: “As we have discussed earlier, this is an official request from the 802.11 membership, as recorded in the minutes of the mid-day plenary, to ask the IEEE IT Staff to respond to our request for a bulk download mechanism. We know that FTP has some security issues but we are now committed to respond back to our membership within 30 days with an answer for the timeline of implementation.”
14. So, I can not receive a date for this?
15. Will document 07/767 be put on the server please.
16. IEEE 802.11 vice-chair: Sure, but I wanted to make the announcement first.

2. Review of the collaborative working agreement, The SC 6 members will vote on this, up to December, so that decision will be done in at the next meeting in Geneva in April 2008.
8. Inter-change Activity
1. None
WiFi Alliance
2. Presentation : 11-07-0764
Questions:
3. Chair: Please note that registered trademarks are contained within this presentation
4. WiFi Alliance has been of great help to 11i. One thing that is missing are plug fests and interop-tests etc. The WPA experiences was essential to remove some fatal flaws form 802.11i
5. Answer: Yes, and indeed this happens in the IETF. It’s part of their culture. Perhaps WiFi and 802.11 should form this culture
6. Slide #29, I disagree with the lesions stated in this slides. Perhaps it should say users want non-standard mechanisms, not proprietary. Additionally there are many groups working in parallel. However, if the scopes are smaller, then this will generate more groups!
7. There is a big difference between IEEE and WiFi Alliance. Academia can not really attend WiFi. We would be missing many important developments. Also one still has to purchase WiFi documents, why cannot they be free after a certain time, like IEEE. The relationship is more complex than what is appears on the surface.
8. Answer: The goals of academia and industry are different. A balance is required, but IEEE currently generates too much bloat. WiFi documents are not that expensive, so hopefully most academics can afford them.
9. It would be also useful to allow people to “play” with the initial standards. In nature systems come and go.
10. There are some good points in the presentation, but there are some blind spots. Throwing things over the wall is not so true. If you do not get your way in one forum, you then go to the other forum. WiFi tends to assume that it is the market. 11n seems to be a case of certification before standardization. WiFi should not confuse markets with vendor interests. There are many vendor interests here.
11. Answer: I agree, especially with WMM. Vendors were pushing this. However, for 11n, I’m sure that this is market driven, as opposed to vendor driven.
12. I buy a widget for the wireless connectivity, as opposed to 11n certification.
13. Answer: It’s a difficult balance
14. The second to last slide. If WiFi was able to provide an input to the VHT SG that would be wonderful.
15. Answer: During the initial days of 11n, this did happen, but the advice was essentially ignored.
9. Another other business
1. Reminder of the social at the Pub St. Paul (). There are walking maps and busses.
2. No other business
10. Recess
1. Chair: We are now in Recess until Friday.

3. You will now require an IEEE members account which is free to all whether an IEEE member or not; all details are in document 767r0. Emails will be sent to the email reflectors next week.
4. Policies and Procedures
1. IEEE 802.11 vice-chair presented document 11-07-675r2
2. The vice-chair responsibie for the WG P&P has received no comments this week.
3. Hence he will bring a motion later to adopt this document.
Question
4. I sent a comment to the IEEE 802.11 vice-chair.
5. Chair: Please can we move this to later after discussion with the member concerned.
5. Timelines
1. Please go and have a look at the new timelines, there have been several changes as present on the screen to the audience.
6. Technical Editor
1. Report : 07/788r2
2. Revisions MA-rev9.0 is now being professionally edited by the IEEE at this moment.
3. They can no longer commit themselves to a 2 month publication cycle.
4. ANA Function

2. Please see 827r0 for the revised ANA procedure.
3. The updated ANA database is now on the server as 11-07-1942r5.
Questions:
4. TGn passed a motion yesterday to ask for ANA numbers. Can ANA handle these numbers
5. Answer: Yes, and in the future this type of motion is no longer required.
6. What has happened with 1942r5. This is an odd number.
7. Answer: It was due to a 06/07 year bug in the document server in January 2007.
8. Document also covers the creation of redline documents. This process has now been rationalized. Generally we are also trying to sort out all the editors. Looking at communications, timelines and a harmonized approach to going forward with editorial duties. There will be a new chairs guide, which will also contain guidelines for secretaries and editors. Please don’t worry about draft numbering in the future and also don’t worry too much about trivial typos.

2. Various introductory presentations including an overview of 802.1 aspects, which are relevant to this study group. Also discussed potential PAR and 5Criteria.
17. IMT Advanced Ad Hoc
1. We did not hold a session this time. But on 23rd May 2007 Kyoto, there will be 802.11 representation there. The IEEE 802.18 chair may then provide some feedback, so there will be some IMT Advanced teleconferences
9. P&P 15 Day Letter Ballots
1. 11-07-828r0
2. Clarification of output documents to higher level groups, e.g. from task groups to working group. This is rationalization of the letter ballot process, based on that of the IEEE-SA sponsor ballot process.

3. Moved by: Al Petrick (WiDeFi)
4. 2nd: Harry Worstell (AT&T)
5. Debate:
6. Why has the approval level changed from 66% to 75%? Hence 360r2 should change to reflect this.
7. Why are we empowering interims 2-3 meetings in advance.
8. Answer: The change from 66% to 75% are based on the current 802 ExCom rules. However, we are still operating under the Jan 06 rules and they will change again in July 07.
9. Regarding the empowerment of the interims, we have to do this during the plenaries.

50. QES SG
51. Comment: Please can we do any letter ballots in sequential order this time.
52. Chair: There are 3 letter ballots. We will try to accommodate no overlap between these letter ballots. They will start in order and be performed serially.
53. Comment: I object. I wish to appeal the chair’s decision.
54. Appeal of Chair’s decision: Chair hands over to vice-chair
55. Comment: TGy and TGr both have 15 day LBs. After that TGu has a 30 day. Hence TGy will start at the end of June and hence we will have no time to process comments during the July meeting.
56. IEEE 802.11 vice-chair: Just checking the dates. There are 49 days between now and the start of the next meeting. If we do things serially than that is 60day duration, which will take TGy into the next meeting.
57. Comment: I don’t think that the original statement really meant for the chair to make this policy.
58. Comment: I think the chair went beyond what I actually requested.
59. IEEE 802.11 vice-chair: This is really hard work and please can we have some latitude.
60. Comment: I have no problem changing the order to TGr, TGy and then TGu. Perhaps we can have a small overlap please.
61. Comment: Perhaps we can adopt a small overlap between TGy and TGu.
62. Motion to move in favor of the chair’s ruling.
63. For 4, Against: 45, Abstain: 19 (Motion fails)
64. The ruling is that the chair’s decision was overturned.
65. End of Appeal
66. IEEE 802.11 vice-chair hands back to Stuart Kerry as chair
67. Moved: to approve document 07/0029r4 adding to the scope statement the following clause: “and will not deprecate any operational mode or feature introduced in 802.11e-2005” as the PAR and Five Criteria for the QSE Study Group and forward for Executive Committee approval.
68. (note: see 07/0029r5 for updated PAR form with 5 criteria statements)
69. Passed in study group 23-6-4
Debate:
70. Can you please clarify that r5 contains the updated scope. Hence isn’t r5 that will actually go to ExCom?
71. Answer: Yes.
72. I speak against the formation of a task group, as I think this activity should occur within the TGmb group. I know that I helped craft the PAR and 5Criteria, but I am still against this motion.
73. I speak against this motion, as I’m not happy about possible feature removal from the IEEE 802.11 standard. I think the PAR scope is restrictive.
74. I speak for the motion and I think this PAR is a good step towards harmonization between IEEE and WiFi Alliance. Speaking as chair of WiFi Alliance I will try to allow the WMM specification to be freely available.
75. Can we possibly use the new PAR for the adoption of an external standard?
76. Answer: I don’t believe that WMM is actually a standard. To remove features from the IEEE 802.11 standard is not useful to the whole industry. The PAR limitation protects the task group from doing this.
77. Yes, but we must be given the ability to make any changes it so desires. This is a very unusual precedent.
78. For: 37, Against: 14, Abstain: 20 (motion fails 72.55%)
79. Please may I ask for a re-count
80. Chair: Yes
81. For: 41, Against: 16, Abstain: 17 (motion fails 71.93%)
82. Comment: Please can the chair not announce the initial results, before a re-count.
83. Chair: Yes, so noted.
84. Comment: Aren’t members bound to vote the same way in a re-count.
85. Chair: Can not answer that, as it’s a legal issue.
11. Motions (New Business)
1. Individual Motions
1. Moved: To approve document 07/0815r0 as an output liaison letter to 802.1.
2. The member read through the liaison letter to explain what the issue is between 802.11 and 802.1.
Comment:
3. I think we need to mention IEEE P802.11 (i.e. addition of the P)
4. Chair: Yes, I will allow this offline.
5. Moved Bob O’Hara (Cisco Corporation)
6. Second: Roger Durand (RIM)
Debate:
7. Has anyone had a look at the 802.1 PAR project, to see if they are compatible with existing standards?
8. Answer: No it’s the other way around. 802.11 has to be compatible with 802.1
9. There is a discussion going on the 802.1 group and it has been mentioned within 802.11 WNG. Perhaps we can make these discussions more formal.
10. If this motion passes, when will the letter going out.
11. Answer: It’s up to the chairman to do this.
12. Chair: I will endeavor to do this today.
13. For : 60, Against : 0, Abstain : 0 (Motion passes)
14. Liaison to request IETF EAP Update Method (EMU) working group to recommend a suitable EAP method for Emergency Service Authentication in conjunction with IEEE 802.11u.
Move to approve liaison document 11-07-0826r0 and attached documents 11-07-0508r1 and 11-07-0290r2 request the IEEE 802.11 WG chair to forward it to IETF EMU WG
15. Moved by: Stephen McCann (Nokia Siemens Networks GmbH & Co. KG)
16. 2nd: Harry Worstell
17. For 54, Against 1, Abstain 5 (Motion passes)
18. Liaison to respond to NENA’s (National Emergency Number Association) request for a review by IEEE 802.11 of their i3 framework document, performed by IEEE 802.11u. (Note: National = USA).
Move to approve liaison document 11-07-0825r0 and request the IEEE 802.11 WG chair to forward it to NENA
19. Moved by: Stephen McCann, 2nd: Al Petrick (WiDeFi)
20. No discussion
21. For 52, Against 0, Abstain 3 (Motion passes)
22. Move to approve an IEEE 802.11u ad-hoc meeting from July 13th -15th 2007 in the Bay Area, CA
23. Moved: Stephen McCann, Seconded Clint Chaplin (Symbol Technologies)
24. Unanimous approval
25. Move to conduct a WG electronic ballot on the question “to approve document 11-07-0029r5 as the PAR and 5Criteria for the QSE Study Group and forward to ExCom for approval.”
26. Moved: Bob O’Hara, Seconded: Andrew Myles (Cisco Corporation)
Debate:
27. Does this document include the earlier restriction?
28. Answer: Yes
29. I think this will allow the IEEE 802.11 membership to consider this issue. think this will hinder future standardization
30. Isn’t this a motion to re-consider?
31. Chair: The document number is different. What is the difference please.
32. I think that is irrelevant, as this motion is for a ballot.
33. Chair: Hence I think this is a valid motion
34. Is this technical or editorial?
35. Chair: Technical hence 75%
36. Can you make comments in the ballot.
37. Chair: Yes. January 2006 EC P&P states that all ballots have to be 75%.
38. This motion on the floor is a 50% vote.
39. Chair: All ballots are now 75%. Hence this motion is 75%.
40. So, are all motions on the floor 75%?
41. Chair: Yes.
42. I am really shocked about this.
43. Ok, how are the comments going to be resolved from this ballot.
44. Chair: The comment resolution committee will be run by the IEEE 802.11 vice-chair
45. Regarding the motion on the floor, I think we have to check all decisions this week.
46. If this ballot passes, would all the comments be forwarded to ExCom.
47. Chair: ExCom will possibly only consider the result of the letter ballot. Above and beyond that I’m not sure.
48. Since we have no quorum, none of these ballots have any binding status. What do we do? I would prefer more discussion in this instance before we go to this electronic ballot.
49. I speak for the motion, as I think it’s better to ask the larger membership this question. Can the chair initiate a ballot himself.
50. Chair: I decline to answer.
51. For: 27, Against: 24, Abstain 14 (motion fails 52.94%)
52. Request for Action
53. I would like to request an action. There is some confusion about this 75% ruling and I don’t think all decisions made this week have followed this. Please can all minutes be re-viewed to ensure that all decisions have indeed met the 75% rule. Since we are not in Quorum today, this cannot be effectively done now and I request that this is done at the start of the July 2007 meeting. I think we have a problem.
54. Chair: The issue has been known for quite a while since January 2006. We know that the LMSC rules are rather confusing. Please can Al Petrick check all minutes.
55. Please can we generate some results of this analysis and have this presented at the start of the July 2007.
56. Chair: Yes, and I would like to re-ask the IEEE 802.11 P&P vice chair to do this. This needs to go to the reflector before the July meeting. Please can all chairs be aware of this.
12. Any other business
1. Next Meeting is July 15-20th 2007, Hyatt Regency in San Francisco and the Agenda for the July meeting is 11-07-1953r0
