--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---
Hi,
I'd like to encourage people to vote "no" on this. The accompanying request provides no justification.
Reference [1] which is supposed to describe their feature is to a generic web page that describes
broadly what they're doing, and the only relevant item on the list (number 17) doesn't have a link to
anything. It's just a statement "draft specification to be announced."
I think we should be given an opportunity to look at how these assignments will be used because maybe
there are better ways to accomplish their goals. We have expertise in this WG that should be utilized.
The WFA is somewhat secretive so while we shouldn't expect a complete protocol proposal, we should
at least get a description of what it is they want to do with these assignments.
When I got an AKM assignment for IETF I went into great detail about what the protocol was and how
it worked. WG members asked me quite a few questions before we voted. I see no reason why WFA
shouldn't be expected to do the same.
Please join me in voting "no" on this motion.
regards,
Dan.
