[STDS-802-11-TGBN] Motion request for Seamless Roaming SPs

Hello Alfred,

I'd like to request a motion or motions to approve the following straw poll text. The straw polls in the MAC adhoc received unanimous support.

Cheers,

Mike

SP3 – Mike Montemurro – Roaming:   ( Result: No objection)

Do you support adding the following to 11bn SFD?

11bn defines a Seamless Mobility Domain (SMD, exact name TBD) that covers multiple AP MLDs, where a non-AP MLD can use the UHR seamless roaming procedure to roam between the AP MLDs of the SMD?

•A logical SMD Management Entity (SMD-ME, exact name TBD) provides association, IEEE 802.1X Authenticator (except for the management of 802.1X control ports which is TBD) and RSNA Key management for non-AP MLDs across all AP MLDs of the SMD.
•A non-AP MLD transitions between AP MLDs within the SMD while maintaining its association and security association with the SMD-ME.
•The non-AP MLD can transition from one SMD to another SMD that are part of the same MD (Mobility Domain) using FT with improvements 

SP4 – Mike Montemurro – Roaming:   ( Result: No Objection)

Do you support adding the following to 11bn SFD?

11bn defines that within a Seamless Mobility Domain (SMD, exact name TBD) the data path includes either one MAC-SAP for the SMD or a separate MAC-SAP per AP MLD of the SMD.

•In the case of a separate MAC-SAP per AP MLD, the DS mapping is updated when the non-AP MLD roams to another AP MLD within the SMD.
•In the case of a separate MAC-SAP per AP MLD, the component of the 802.1X Authenticator in the SMD-ME interacts with an 802.1X Authenticator component in the AP MLD that manages the 802.1X controlled port for the non-AP MLD.
•In the case of a single MAC-SAP for the SMD, the 802.1X Authenticator in the SMD-ME manages the 802.1X controlled port for the non-AP MLD.
