2. IEEE 802.15 and IEEE 802.22 have acknowledged reception of these comments and they will now work on them,

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.

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.

5. Q: Perhaps we should remove the “distinct identity” criterion within the PAR document?

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.

3. None seen

28. Call for Essential Patents

1. Call for Essential Patents and Letters of Assurance (LoA)

2. No questions on this

29. Announcements

1. September 2011 Agenda (Okinawa)

1. Some special presentations will occur in the September 2011 meeting, including a special tutorial and on the Monday evening and Wednesday PM1. This is to allow our host to present material that is of interest to them.

2. Letters of Assurance (LoA) (11-11-0830r1 slide #35)

1. None received this week, but please look at the LoA database.

3. IEEE Shop (11-11-0830r1 slide #36)

1. A lot of old drafts have now been removed from the IEEE shop. As far as we know, everything is now correct.

2. Q: Please can we now add the TGaa draft 5.0

3. Chair: Yes, sure.

4. Q: How about TGad.

5. Chair: Once TGad draft 4.0 has been balloted (and passes), we can move it into the shop.

4. Tutorials for November 2011

1. Chair: There is a potential SmartGrid tutorial for November 2011, and also some mention of a machine-to-machine one.

2. Are there any other ideas?

3. None

5. TGaa chair

1. Chair: We are losing the TGaa chair this week as he moves to a new position within his company.

2. TGaa chair: We have one volunteer, Graham Smith.

3. Chair: Ok, so I would like to recognize Graham as the new TGaa chair.

6. Executive Committee Workshop (November 2011)

1. Chair: This will be held during the weekend following the November 2011 meeting. Please can you pass any issues or problems to me.

2. Q: How about “international positioning of IEEE 802”, as we appear to be falling back to default USA meetings?

3. Chair: Yes sure.

7. CWPAN

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

1. Looking at splitting the registries numbers into Manufacturer’s ID and MAC address prefix.

2. Also looking at how the RAC fits into the IEEE. Perhaps a sub-committee, but we’re not sure yet.

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?

4. Perhaps the RAC can be brought into the draft review process. Possibly the RAC can be informed about the MECs.

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

1. Chair: Can I have a show of hands to see who is in favor of returning to this location again?

2. For: 59, Against: 0

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.

4. Chair: Sure, but sometimes it is venue cost that drives the decisions.

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.

6. Q: Do we have a written set of criteria for choosing locations, apart from cost?

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.

32. Documentation & Attendance

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.

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.

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.

4. I would like to have some very quick straw polls about wasted time.

5. More than 1 hr: 3

6. More than 30 mins: 12

7. More than 15 mins: 30

8. More than 7.5 mins: 40

9. More than 3.75 mins : 40

10. Vice-chair: Therefore I think this is a rather unreasonable situation.

11. Q: Please can you update the meeting attendance stats that were sent out earlier in the week? They are very useful.

12. Vice-chair: Yes I will do.

33. WG Reports

1. Publicity

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.

2. Timelines

1. A few changes this time to the TGaf and TGah dates. There are also updated required for the TGae and TGad MEC. The online timeline chart will be updated over the weekend.

2. No questions

34. WG Committee Reports (11-11-1075r0)

1. Technical editor (slide #5)

1. Working on a new procedure called the Mandatory Draft Review (MDR) that replaces the old Mandatory Editorial Check (MEC). This checks numbering, nomenclature and the MIB to make sure it compiles.

2. Thanks to all the editors for returning the information that was requested from them this week.

3. No questions

2. WNG SC (slide #12)

1. Three presentations this week.

3. I’d like to thank Adrian Stephens for all his help and contributions with REVmb this week.

4. No questions

4. TGmb (slide #18)

1. Continued sponsor ballot (SB) comment resolution that was completed this week. There were comments from both ISO and the Swiss national body.

2. The next ballot will include the 11s draft roll-up and should be complete before the September 2011 meeting.

3. The group is looking at a March 2012 date for RevCom

4. No questions

5. TGs (slide #26)

1. Discussed some issues from the technical editor.

2. Will go to ExCom today and ask for approval to go to RevCom.

3. Q: I would wait until publication has finished, before stopping the group.

4. Chair: We normally wait until the Award ceremony has occurred before stopping the groups.

6. TGaa (slide #31)

1. LB179 comment resolution occurred this week.

2. Met with IEEE 802.1AVB this week, but it was quite short.

3. The chair has changed within the task group as mentioned earlier.

4. No questions

7. TGac (slide #39)

1. Resolved comments following the Draft 1.0 letter ballot.

2. Would like to request an ad-hoc meeting just before the September 2011 meeting.

3. There will be a GCMP discussion during the September 2011 meeting.

4. Q: What does MU stand for please?

5. A: Multi-User

8. TGad (slide #46)

1. Completed comment resolution and will request re-circulation letter ballot on draft 4.0. Hope to ask to move to the Sponsor Ballot phase in November 2011.

2. Also had a discussion about CWPAN this week.

1. Comment resolution for LB180. During the mid-week plenary the re-circulation ballot was approved for Draft 5.0 and today we hope to ask the EC for conditional sponsor ballot.

2. No questions

10. TGaf (slide #57)

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.

2. No questions

11. TGah (slide #64)

1. Good progress this week, with the generation of some output documents.

2. Moved the project end date to be 4 months later that will change the timeline.

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.

4. TGah chair: Sure, there are a lot of use cases that we’re looking at.

5. Comment (C): Some groups like TGaf have stated what the final output should be. Perhaps TGah should repeat this exercise.

12. TGai (slide #68)

1. There were 12 technical submissions this week, so a lot of work was done.

2. The timeline remains the same.

3. Please note the change in the teleconference time change. This has been done for people located in the Bay Area, California, USA.

4. No questions.

13. JTC 1 Ad hoc (slide #76)

1. Lots of meetings this week, and we were delighted to have the SC6 chair present.

2. There will be some material generated for SC6 in the September 2011 meeting.

3. Moved by Andrew Myles, Second: Jon Rosdahl

4. For: 47, Against: 0, Abstain: 1 (Motion passes 100%)

39. Working Group Motions (New Business) (11-11-1076r1)

1. TGaf Ad Hoc (slide #18)

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

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.

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.

4. Chair: The motion does not mention the co-location.

5. C: I actually voted no on the TGac motion, as I don’t think either group requires an ad-hoc.

6. C: I have a similar concern. I don’t think that 4 people is enough.

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.

8. C: I think this is a good opportunity to use some electronic tools for collaboration. I can volunteer to provide such tools.

9. C: I assume that some people from the host would also attend.

10. TGaf vice-chair: Ok, so I know of 6 people who would probably attend.

11. C: What about the TGac ad hoc?

12. TGac chair: Sure, but we have 20 people who would attend.

13. Chair: Perhaps we can move forward with this motion and then I can ask the TGac and TGaf chairs to liaise between them.

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.

15. For: 21, Against: 5, Abstain: 21 (Motion passes 80.77%)

2. JTC1 liaison announcement to SC6 (slide #18)

1. Motion

2. The IEEE 802.11 WG approves the following text be liaised to SC6 by the 802.11 WG Chair

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.

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.

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.

6. Moved: Rolf de Vegt, 2nd: Andrew Myles

7. Chair: I would speak in favor of this motion.

8. C: What are we actually moving here?

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”.

10. C: The idea is that the text in this motion will be sent to SC6.

11. For: 48, Against: 0, Abstain: 0 (Motion passes 100%)

40. Working Group PARs (11-11-0997r1)

1. There were 7 PARs to review this week. This report is a summary of the discussions from the IEEE 802.11 PAR meetings.

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.

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.

4. Q: I understand that the PAR purpose statement is no longer required.

5. A: If you have one in the document, then you have to state it in the PAR.

6. Vice-chair: r14 is the final 802.22a PAR document.

41. Working Group Motions (New Business) (11-11-1076r1)

1. TGaa RAC request (slide #23)

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)

2. Moved: Alex Ashley , Seconded: Ganesh Venkatesan

3. C: I would note that this motion does not have a deadline and this is typically done at the sponsor ballot stage.

4. C: TGaa discovered that a local defined address is not enough, so we need to approach the RAC for a universal one.

5. Chair: Can you go to RevCom without this number being defined?

6. A: Not sure.

7. C: This is an action that needs to be done to request it?

8. C: The motion is ok, but I just want TGaa to realize that they have to wait until sponsor ballot.

9. For: 46, Against: 0, Abstain: 0 (Motion passes 100%)

42. Future Venues (11-11-0830r1 slide #38)

1. Chair: The March 2012 will be in Hawaii, Waikoloa. However, the September 2012 meeting will now be held in Palm Springs.

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.

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?

4. C: What is the progress on the confusion of the September 2012 meeting?

5. Chair: Nothing has come back yet, but this may be discussed in the EC today.

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.

7. C: We should have 2 of our 4 interim meetings outside of NA.

8. Chair: One of the issues is the registration fees.

9. So let’s have a couple of straw polls:

10. Is there any objection to paying $1000 registration fees: 9

11. How many would not care: 29

12. Chair: Ok, that’s interesting.

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.

14. C: Yes, meetings outside of NA will result in a change of membership, both additions and reductions.

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.

16. Chair: So we should look at overall cost optimization.

17. C: At most of our meetings, we’re actually using multiple hotels already.

43. Other New Business

1. Critical Dates

2. Chair: please look at slide #42 for some critical dates.

3. Pre-motions

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.

5. Vice-chair: I would like to actually ask the Task Groups to stop using these terms.

6. C: I would like to state that these new straw poll definitions have helped the work.

7. Chair: Ok, nothing is illegal here, but something should be done to remove the confusion.

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.

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.

10. C: Pre-motions are only used in ad-hocs, not in teleconferences.

11. Chair: Ok, so even the experienced members seem to be confused, which we should resolve at a future meeting.

12. C: The process is similar to what occurred in TGn.

13. Attendance

14. Vice-chair: Please can you do your Attendance.

15. Mandatory Draft Review (MDR) process

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

1. The next meeting (#129) is at the

2. Okinawa Convention Centre, Okinawa, Japan, from September 18th – 23rd 2011:

45. Adjournment

1. Chair: I propose to adjourn

2. The meeting is adjourned without objection at 11:35 PDT
