Re: [802SEC] +++ 10-day EC Email Ballot +++ Scope change of IEEE 802.24 and process for adding Task Groups for new areas of interest



Mike

That wording was from our original scope. We should probably tighten up that language. Suggestions?

One would be to delete "regulatory agencies" from the scope. For government agencies, that may still be appropriate for .24 groups as not all agencies do radio regulations.

I support 802.18 remaining in its unique role with regards to regulatory matters for 802.

James,

It appears that I may have pushed "Send" too soon as I also agree with Adrian as regards .24's apparent ability to bypass our current regulatory methodology via 802.18 and communicate .24's own views directly to regulators and other governmental bodies.

I have to wonder why .24 needs to:

" Acts as a liaison and point of contact with regulatory agencies,...... government agencies..."

We have an existing method via 802.18 where 802 communicates with regulatory agencies and other governmental bodies. Why does .24 need to be exempted from that process?

Adrian correctly points out that recently we had a liaison exchange with 3GPP that was not presented via 802.18, and that clearly was done under the auspices of the sponsor chair.

Liaisons to government agencies normally are presented to 802.18 and approved (and edited as necessary) there. Is there some reason why .24 cannot do that, why it needs an exemption from that process?

So it seems I have two questions that need to be answered. This one and the one in my previous email.

Regards,

Mike

I am currently undecided.

I have heartburn with this:  " Acts as a liaison and point of contact with regulatory agencies, industry organizations, other SDOs, government agencies, IEEE societies, etc., for questions regarding the use of 802 standards in those emerging applications."

I am a little unclear in the 802 process about which liaisons require 802 approval and which do not.   For example,  802 recently responded to an incoming liaison from 3GPP without involving 802.   But we have also approved outgoing liaisons via 802.

In this case is the scope of "emerging applications" clear enough?
We also have a special process for regulatory.    802.11 creates input for 802.18,  which is the single point of contact on regulatory matters.   As I read it,  the proposed 802.24 rules give it license to talk directly to regulatory on emerging standards,  even if that position is contrary to one developed in .18.

Waiting for some email discussion on the topic....
