Re: [STDS-802-11-EDITORS] TGbn D2.1 ANA request

Hello Ross,

Please find attached your assignments except for the Authentication frame requests.

We had discussed the Authentication frame wrangle a few months ago and the end decision was that it would not be under ANA management.  An old version of the table is in the posted ANA database.  To avoid confusion I'll see if I can take it out, or mark it as invalid for now.  

If you want, we can discuss this again in Bangkok during the Editors meeting.  

I hope you're having a pleasant Golden week.

Regards,

Carol

TGbn previously uses 32 and 33, try to keep 32 and release 33 TGbt uses 37 and 38. Need a global update of the ANA table
