Discussion of these 32 proposals continued in November with extended period of
Q&A. The majority of time was spent discussing the 4 complete proposals now
known by the names: MITMOT, TGnSync, WWiSE, and Qualcomm.
After the close of discussion and final remarks, there was a low hurdle vote
conducted on the 4 complete proposals. Voters were asked to vote “consider” or
“not consider” for each of the 4 proposals.

Details of the voting are on
the 802.11
member’s website and in the TGn minutes. (document 04-1437)

have passed on to the next phase.
More detailed presentations and discussions will continue in the January 2005
meeting. It is also expected that elimination voting will begin. During
elimination voting each voter will register their support for only one
candidate and the proposal with the lowest level of support will be eliminated.
The cycle of presentation, discussion and voting will continue until there
remains only one candidate. The remaining candidate must then achieve
ratification where support from at least 75% of voting members is obtained.
