My recommendations (using the paradigm
that simpler is better):
5.2.b. Scope of the project:
This amendment to the IEEE Std 802.11
medium access control (MAC) specification specifies
new mechanisms that enable deployment of data privacy services.
This amendment makes no changes to the
existing IEEE Std 802.11 mechanisms that enable such services.
…
5.5 Need for the Project:
Mobile devices incorporating IEEE Std 802.11
are now ubiquitous, and this success of IEEE
Std 802.11 has created a privacy problem. Personal
mobile devices have been and currently are being used to obtain
sensitive, personal information such as where people
go, when they go, to whom they speak, and what information they access. New
privacy fulfillment mechanisms in IEEE Std 802.11
are necessary to address these issues.
5.6 Stakeholders for the Standard:
Manufacturers and users of semiconductors,
personal computers, enterprise networking devices, consumer electronic devices,
home networking equipment, and mobile devices; together with cellular operators,
transportation industries, multiple system operators, video content suppliers, and regulatory bodies whose charter is to protect
the (data privacy) rights of consumers.
…
8.1 Additional Explanatory Notes (Item
Number and Explanation):
1. Trust,
security, and privacy are closely related.
Trust is necessary but not sufficient to ensure
security, and security is necessary but not
sufficient to ensure privacy.
2. Data
privacy is concerned with control of
data that is or can be used to construct personally identifiable information (PII).
3. IEEE Std 802.11 specifies communication mechanisms which
are used to exchange between entities information that may contain data that
can be used to generate PII.
4. Providing mechanisms that allow users to retain
control of PII generated as a result of using 802.11 is the purpose of this
amendment.

Reminder about RCM SG Teleconference Monday June 8
Hi Rob, et al,
I was unable to make the RCM call today but I do have some comments on the
proposed PAR. Please
see
the attached marked-up version of your document.
Specifically, I don't think "ethics" really has anything to do with
the problem. Everyone can be ethical
and
there can still be privacy violations. Privacy is an issue of control over
one's PII, it is not a vague
assurance
that other people will ethically handle other's PII. I think the PAR should be
written to reflect
that
reality.
regards,
Dan.

HI Carol:
I would like to request some time to discuss to PAR for privacy during the RCM
call, I uploaded two documents: 11/20-0854 and 11/20-0855.
Thanks

Greetings everyone,
The next RCM SG teleconference is coming up on Monday June 8 at 10:00amEDT.
As a reminder, the study group is tasked with
developing a PAR and CSD for random and changing MAC address-related changes to
802.11 and another PAR and CSD for general privacy-related improvements to
802.11.
Please consider making a contribution on either of the
two topics.
Regards,
Carol Ansley
