stds-802-16: NEW: file sharing among 802.11, and 802.15, and 802.16



As of this morning, the 802.16 username and password will provide you 
access into two new web areas: the IEEE 802.11 and 802.15 
password-protected sites. Reciprically, 802.11 and 802.15 passwords 
will provide access to 802.16's password-protected site. 802.11 and 
802.15 have established the same relationship among themselves. In 
short, any of the three username/passwords will unlock any of the 
three private sites.

This change resulted from a decision of 802.11 Chair Stuart Kerry, 
802.15 Chair Bob Heile, and me. We have seen increasing demands for 
sharing of information across the Working Groups. Part of this arises 
from the regulatory and coexistence work, which began coming together 
quite harmoniously at Session #14. Intriguingly, we have also begun 
to receive a number of inquiries from 802.11 and 802.15 regarding our 
MAC.

Please be careful with your username and password. Do not share them 
with anyone. Please keep the shared documents confidential to 
preserve the spirit of trust we have developed among the groups.

I have modified the 802.16 private-site page 
<http://ieee802.org/16/private> to include links to all of the shared 
directories to which the 802.16 username/password is applicable. The 
list now includes:

*IEEE 802.11
*IEEE 802.15
*IEEE 802 Regulatory Ombudsman
*ETSI BRAN Documents

Enjoy!

Regards,

Roger
