["Stephens, Adrian P" <Adrian.P.Stephens@xxxxxxxxx>]

--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---

Dear 802.11 members,

 

Please see the email below.  It’s slightly off our normal topic,

but is still in line with the aims of the IEEE,  which is why I support

its presence on the reflector.

 

Walter is looking for 802.11 subject matter experts to review

the content of course modules that will be used to train folks on

networking in the developing world.

 

Best Regards,

 

Adrian P STEPHENS
