General Information
Public read-only web-based access is provided to all 802.11 reflectors using the URLs above. In addition, public subscription to a read-only version of the main 802.11 reflector is provided here: https://listserv.ieee.org/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=STDS-802-11-ro.
Read-write access to the reflectors is available to active members of 802.11. An active member is a member with status Aspirant, Potential Voter or Voter; or a former Voter member who is in the ballot pool of a current working group ballot series.
If you are an active member of 802.11 you can request access to one or more of the reflectors using this form. An 802.11 officer will review the request and grant access based on membership status. You can also use the form to request that you be removed from one or more of the refectors. Or you can do that yourself using the link for direct access provided below.
You can directly manage your subscription to the reflectors using here: https://listserv.ieee.org. You will be asked to create an account if this is your first visit. To do so, follow the instructions. Use your email address, and then enter a password that you can remember. Complete the form, and the system will send you an email to confirm, then once again follow the instructions closely. Accept the cookie, then you have completed this one-time process, and can utilize all the site subscriber functionality provided.
Access to a non-public reflector is provided for official technical business of the Working Group or a Study Group, or Standing Committee. WG letter ballots, technical discussions and questions, comments on presentations and documents, are welcome. The public read-only reflector carries a copy of the traffic sent to the "main" reflector stds-802-11.
The reflector identifies subscriptions by email address. It will only allow postings from a subscribed address. This can make it awkward to use email aliases such as @ieee.org as your subscribed address - i.e. only subscribe using an address from which you can originate email.
If you change your address, send an email to the responsible WG vice chair, who will perform a global update. If you change your email address (e.g., moving jobs) and do not update the system, it will eventually automatically determine that the subscribed email address is no longer functional, and will delete the subscription.
Confidentiality statements are not permitted (e.g., "This email is CONFIDENTIAL and may be read by the intended recipient only..."). If your employer's email system inserts these statements, you will need to subscribe using a personal email account that does not carry such a statement.
Commercial activities are not permitted. If in doubt, consult a WG officer before posting.
Subscribers who do not meet these rules may be removed from the 802.11 reflectors. Reflectors are not otherwise moderated.
