Please consider using the ITU-R definition of Handover (e.g., reference: Recommendation ITU-R M.1224):
"Handover The action of switching a call in progress from one cell to another (intercell) or between radio channels in the same cell (intracell) without interruption of the call. NOTE 1 - Handover is used to allow established calls to continue when mobile stations move from one cell to another (or as a method to minimize co channel interference)."
Please note that in this definition "cell" may also refer to a "sector"; please consider also the definition of "cell":
"Cell The radio coverage area of a satellite spot beam or a base station, or of a subsystem (e.g. sector antenna) of that base station corresponding to a specific logical identification on the radio path, whichever is smaller. NOTE 1 - Every mobile station in a cell may be reached by the corresponding radio equipment."
If you have other issues of terminology, you may wish consult the ITU-T online database (SANCHO), although it does not yet include the ITU-R terms (only ITU-T): http://www.itu.int/sancho/index.asp

Itzik and all Here is a small item for agreement; the definition of Handoff (or Handover) I have listed below, 6 different proposed wordings for the definition of Handoff, as contributed on our reflector. I have also listed two definitions from the official 3GPP vocabulary, 3G TR 21.905, Vocabulary for 3GPP Specifications.
From the various contributions to the reflector: Handoff (HO) - The process of the MS moving from a serving BS sector to a target BS sector.
Handoff (HO) - The process of migration of the MS from the serving BS to a new BS.
Handoff (HO) - The act of transferring communication with a MS from one BS to another.
Handoff (HO) - The process of migration of the MS from the serving BS to a new BS.
Handoff (HO) - The process of migration of the MS from the serving BS to a new BS. Or "changing Serving BS"
Handoff (HO) - The process of migration of the MS from the serving BS to a new BS.
From the 3GPP Vocabulary
Handover: The transfer of a user's connection from one radio channel to another (can be the same or different cell).
Handover: The process in which the radio access network changes the radio transmitters or radio access mode or radio system used to provide the bearer services, while maintaining a defined bearer service QoS.

Dear Handoff Ad-hoc members,
First I would like to thank all the members that supplied comments. Generally, it seems that there are some issues that should be discussed and agreed.
Based on the received comments, I am compiling a new table of items, with highlight of the problematic ones. I will upload it tomorrow evening.
The next stage, is to reach into an agreed list, which will be a framework to table of context of a Handoff document.
Following this task, an inputs for relevant sections will be welcome.
Best Regards, Itzik.
