Re: [STDS-802-11-TGBE] TGbe MAC ad-hoc meeting [03/13/2020]: Updated Agenda Posted

Hello Jinsoo,

Thanks for bringing this item to our attention. The EC's decision to cancel the March F2F meeting does not impact the MAC ad-hoc meeting, since we agreed to hold the ad-hoc meeting out of January F2F.

However, I do share the same concerns as you and would like to emphasize that the safety of all our members, families, and our communities is of utmost importance. For this reason it is strongly advisable to dial-in via the the teleconference facilities rather than attending the ad-hoc meeting in person.  As such, you can think of this particular ad-hoc meeting as a teleconference call that extends for multiple sessions within the same day.

I also recognize that there could be some inconveniences with the use of e-polls for running our strawpolls. Regarding this I had planned on asking guidance to the WG leadership and other TG chairs on how to improve the process. 

I will send out an e-mail on the new process (which relies on existing tools of the online meeting facilities) in the next few days after synching up with WG and TG leadership on the detailed procedure. It is also worth pointing out that these types of online voting procedures are experimental, considering the size of our task group, and we will learn as we go, but I believe that with it will help us making some progress at a time we cannot meet face to face.

Regarding Ming's suggestion to reduce the amount of sessions for the scheduled MAC ad-hoc meeting and increase the number of conference calls in subsequent days, I will echo this suggestion to the WG leadership and keep you posted on further guidance.

Please let me know if this addresses your concerns.
 
Best Regards,

Alfred

Hi Alfred,

 

Thank you so much for your great effort on leading this group.

 

I expected the ad-hoc meeting would be canceled based on IEEE 802 EC’s decision for the F2F plenary meeting. But without any discussion in the group that decides to keep ad-hoc meeting (If I missed something, please correct me) while the decision for planning this meeting was discussed and decided together in the group, and without no particular change on situation under which the 802 EC canceled the meeting, I’m not sure if this is the best way to go with since there will be inconvenience expected with such as running e-polls and kind of unfairness for members who are not capable of attending by F2F,  safety as well on top of them.

 

If the group want to have a progress (I totally understand and agree we need to accelerate the discussion), at least it would be good to open and discuss the item together. On any decision with those procedure, I guess everyone will gladly support it.

 

Thanks again for your devoted effort and please kindly let me know your opinion.

 

Best wishes,

Jinsoo

Hello all,

 

I uploaded the revised agenda for the Ad-hoc meeting, including the submissions that were not covered during the conference calls. 


Please note that the cancellation notice sent earlier by the WG leadership does not impact the TGbe MAC ad-hoc, and we are scheduled as planned. 

 

Please also note that while attendance in person is still possible, it is strongly advisable to dial-in via the teleconference facilities being provided (please refer to the agenda), due to the travel restrictions and health recommendations at company/government levels.

 

For this particular event, and for future conferences we may need to run SPs via e-polls so that we can make some progress. I will send more details on this item after the CAC meeting that is scheduled next Monday. 

 

Thank you for your understanding and please let me know  if you have any questions.

 

Best Regards,

 

Alfred
