I have several presentations talk about roaming procedure, e.g. 11-23/1937 (earliest document?) proposes discovery, preparation and roaming by using updated RNR, BTM, MLD reconfiguration. Somehow I didn’t volunteer as PoC. I would like
to be the PoC of the roaming . I assume that I should take care of discovery, preparation if updated BTM, MLD reconfirmation, or/and RNR are adopted by 11bn roaming procedure.
Best Regards,
Liwen

Hi Duncan and all,
As discussed in the 802.11bn call this morning, the PoC assignments are open for the roaming subtopics.
I would like to volunteer for PoC of the discovery subtopic.
Pooya would like to volunteer for PoC of the data plane.
I have questions on the subgroup topics:
- Architecture and security are related topics. Would a single PoC be better? How work is split between 2 PoCs?
- The discovery and preparation select the AP for roaming. Can you please clarify the differences of these subtopics.
- What does the roaming subtopic mean? This name is not very descriptive. All of these subtopics are related to roaming
Per the suggestion in the contribution 24/1698 (TGbn D0.1 Spec Text Volunteers and Status) from Ross, the PoC candidates should exchange email in advance trying to converge on subtopic split
and PoC assignment. That’s why I started an email thread with the PoC candidates but didn’t include TTT members. I didn’t think TTT members were interested in PoC discussion since they would have signed up for PoC if they were interested in being a PoC.
Anyways, since some TTT members indicated in the 11bn meeting earlier today that they were also interested in the PoC discussion, I’ve now added all the TTT members to this thread for further
discussion.
As I mentioned on the call, seamless roaming is a big topic and it could be broken down into sub-topics as multiple contributions have identified these different subtopics and phases of seamless
roaming. Here’s my attempt to create the subtopics and split those amongst different PoCs. I believe Yelin, Binita, Giovanni, Po-kai and Jay are OK with the following split. I know that Guogang has some different opinions and Mike mentioned he has an upcoming
contribution about architecture and requirements. Please let me know if you have any feedback.
Architecture/framework - Duncan
Preparation – Giovanni/Binita
Roaming – Binita/Giovanni
Context transfer - Po-Kai
FT enhancements – Guogang
Data plane UL/DL delivery – Jay
I acknowledge that there are still a lot of technical discussion and agreements to be made but based on all the contributions and discussions so far, I expect what we ended up with would not deviate too much from the above subtopics. Whatever
technical decision will have to pass Motion first (regardless of who the PoCs are) and that’s where the technical discussion should take place. As such, I would appreciate if we can focus on the split and subtopics and not to be derailed by any attempt of
technical discussion in this thread.
