| --- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---
Philip, Vinko, Rolf, Laurent and Dapeng, Ø … we collectively have chosen to promote an enhanced leadership organization This seems like an inordinate and inappropriate amount of private coordination for an open and public standards organization. The High Efficiency WLAN Stud Group hardly knows what will be delivered yet as technology – it’s not even started to define the scope of the problem area, and already we have an embarrassing wealth of organizational overhead. Five officers for a study group is absurd. This announcement appears to be a preemptive “scent marking” to establish the territory of a small cadre. It smells poorly for the overall behavior of an open standards committee that has yet to start any productive work. The first item to deliver is a charter (aka PAR and 5 Criteria). It’s ridiculous to already be parsing a “study group” into subgroups and subtopics. It’s totally unnecessary to have topic specific vice chairs in a study group. The appropriate parliamentary process is to: 1) Elect a Chair, 2) discuss the need for any further “leadership” positions as a group face-to-face. As the group evolves, additional positions should be added when they are needed. Paul Paul A.

From: *** IEEE stds-802-11 List *** [mailto:STDS-802-11@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Phillip Barber --- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector --- After discussion and consideration amongst several colleagues active in the genesis of the High Efficiency WLAN (HEW) Study Group, and to facilitate Study Group operation as well as reflect the depth and character of commitment to the contemplated project, we collectively have chosen to promote an enhanced leadership organization through the following nominations: Nomination for HEW Study Group Chair: Osama Aboul-Magd, affiliation Huawei Nomination for HEW Study Group Vice Chair for PHY topics: Ron Porat, affiliation Broadcom Nomination for HEW Study Group Vice Chair for MAC topics: Simone Merlin, affiliation Qualcomm Nomination for HEW Study Group Vice Chair for Carrier topics: Laurent Cariou, affiliation Orange Nomination for HEW Study Group Secretary: Dapeng Liu, affiliation China Mobile As this is an unusual depth of organization for a Study Group, we have discussed the proposed structure with the WG Chair, Bruce Kraemer, to solicit his input and tentative approval for the organizational structure only. We realize that approval for such organizational structure must necessarily wait for convening of the Study Group and 802.11 Membership at the May meeting. Nevertheless, we felt it would be beneficial to announce our intent at this time. We hope that you will endorse the proposed organization structure and support our nominations for the identified positions. Looking forward to progressing our joint work on this project in May, Phillip Barber, Huawei Rolf De Vegt, Qualcomm Laurent Cariou, Orange Dapeng Liu, China Mobile From: *** IEEE stds-802-11 List *** [mailto:STDS-802-11@xxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce Kraemer --- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector --- Dear 802.11, We just completed our March 802 plenary meeting last Friday evening in Orlando, FL. Among the various topics discussed during the week 802.11 had submitted two topics for the Executive Committee agenda: Conditional approval to move 802.11ac to sponsor ballot Approval to form a new study group titled High Efficiency WLAN (HEW) Both of these requests were approved Regarding 802.11ac Please note that working group letter ballot 194 on 802.11ac D5.0 is currently underway. Ballot instructions can be found at: http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/ Depending on the results of the WG ballot, Sponsor Ballot may begin in April and possibly conclude just prior to our May interim meeting. Regarding the HEW Study Group I have appointed Laurent Cariou (Orange) as the chair pro-tem of the study group. He will prepare the study group for operation in our May meeting. Also note that a call for nominations for the HEW Study Group chair is now open. Nominees for the position of Study Group chair will close during the 802.11 opening plenary on Monday May 13. During the first session of the Study Group a chair selection vote will occur. The selected party will be confirmed by the WG during the mid-week plenary. NB: When the study group convenes it is likely they will agree to fill additional vice chair and secretary positions. Regarding the May meeting in Waikoloa Early bird meeting registration closes : Monday April 1, 2013 @ 6pm Pacific Time
http://www.ieee802.org/11/Meetings/Meeting_Plan.html Hotel rooms are still available at the Hilton Waikoloa but note that as of Tuesday March 19th the early bird rooms at a rate of $149 are sold out. The rates are currently $169.00.
