stds-802-16: more on regulatory and coexistence issues at Session #14
I've added more details on regulatory and coexistence meetings to the
Session #14 agenda:
http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg14/agenda.html
The main changes:
(1) On the regulatory side, Vic has decided he needs 9.5 hours of
editing time beyond his original plan for 6 hours of meetings. I have
added his three requested meetings to our agenda:
Tue: 10:30 am - 3 pm
Wed: 8 am - noon
Thu: 8 - 10 am
We have offered to hold the Wednesday and Thursday meetings in our
TG4 space. The room is available since Durga and Brian have agreed to
hold the TG3 and TG4 PHY meetings jointly during those days.
(2) Regarding 802's Coexistence Study Group, I've learned of an
additional meeting (Tuesday, 8-10 am) and have added it to our agenda.
If you are interested in this Study Group, you may want to
participate in their upcoming conference call (Monday, July 2, 3 pm
U.S. Eastern Time). I plan to call in. Please contact Chair Jim
Lansford <mailto:jim.lansford@mobilian.com> if you are interested.

>(1) The 802.11 schedule includes a detailed agenda for three
>two-hour meetings of the "IEEE 802.11 RADIO REGULATORY ADHOC
>MEETING", chaired by Vic Hayes, 802's Regulatory Ombudsman. This
>activity is related to a conference call of last week. The group's
>main plans for July seem to involve drafting a response to the FCC's
>NPRM 99-231. However, other agenda topics include "PAR rules
>amendment" and "Establish permanent group".
>
>This is, officially, an 802.11 activity; despite some inquiries, I
>don't really know what it is and what plans Vic has for making it an
>802 entity. However, the topics are relevant to 802.16, and a number
>of our members participated in the conference call. We will have a
>voice in any position paper that comes out of 802, so we need to be
>involved.
>
>All three of the meetings are scheduled for the Marriott Downtown;
>you can get there by the shuttle. Vic has indicated that he needs
>even more time than this, and he can't find extra meeting space
>there. I asked him to let us know what he needs to see if we can
>accommodate him. I suspect that TG4 may be able to offer its meeting
>room some of the time; many of the TG4 people might like to attend.
>If you want to attend these meetings, I will make sure you still get
>802.16 participation credit so you won't endanger your membership.
>
>(2) The 802 agenda shows a meeting of the 802 Coexistence Study
>Group from 6:30-9:30 pm on Thursday. That group expires at the end
>of the session, unless renewed. The group seems to be heading toward
>creating a proposal for a standing 802 Technical Advisory Group on
>Coexistence. More info when I get it.
