Achievements

The Sponsor Ballot for TGah Draft 9.0 closed on September 9 and the motion passed with 95% approval ratio. TGah BRC completed all comment resolution in Warsaw F2F meeting and approved the fifth Sponsor Recirculation Ballot for Draft 10.0. The resolutions to the fourth recirculation ballot did not make any draft change. But, because a dependency of P802.11ah has been updated from P802.11ai D10.0 to P802.11ai D11.0, the revised draft (D10.0) of P802.11ah has prepared and the fifth Sponsor Recirculation Ballot is started. Also, the WG approved document 11-16/0777r4 as the report to the IEEE 802 Executive Committee (EC) for conditional approval to forward P802.11ah D10.0.0 to RevCom. All results of motions given during the meeting is contained in September 2016 Agenda (11-16/1073r2).
