Andrew, We discussed and edits the liaison at the WG meeting today. I just emailed out the latest edits. We kept in some references to consensus, but removed some, based on inputs from participants. We will discuss this tomorrow in the WG closing. Regards, Steve From: Andrew Myles (amyles) [mailto:amyles@xxxxxxxxx]
G’day Steve I strongly suggest that we keep the reference to “consensus” The IEEE 802 emphasised at the 3GPP LAA Workshop that we follow a consensus process in the IEEE 802 when doing balloting. In particular, we accept comments from anyone and we resolve using a process
that allows the commenter an opportunity to respond to the response. The 3GPP folk responded that they also follow a consensus process. This was a very important statement that was major part of the success of the workshop, particularly as IEEE 802 was accepted
by 3GPP as relevant stakeholder. I also add that the concept of consensus is well known and understood in the standards community. It is very useful to use this concept in our liaison because it is so well understood. For your information
the full definition of consensus follows: General agreement, characterized by the absence of sustained opposition to substantial issues by any important part of the concerned interests and by a process that involves
seeking to take into account the views of all parties concerned and to reconcile any conflicting arguments. Consensus need not imply unanimity Andrew From: Shellhammer, Steve [mailto:sshellha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Rich, Thanks for leading the group of interested parties in updating the liaison yesterday. I made some suggested edits, which are attached. We can discuss these and any other comments from others at the PM2 WG meeting later today. My main two comments are, ·
I think we need to follow the approved process and send this liaison from IEEE 802 o
Here is link to the process,

We can run a EC email ballot with an early close. We should be able to get the EC approval quickly. ·
My comment on the content is related to the use of the term “consensus” It is my recollection that at the 3GPP workshop the RAN Chair said that 3GPP would address comments from all stakeholders. I do not recall any statement on the organizations “reaching
consensus” and I do not know how that would be done anyways. So I made a few edits accordingly. Regards, Steve |
