Re: stds-802-16: Session #26 agenda
Roger,
The 802.20 proposed agenda shows a Joint Plenary of 802.11/15/18/19/20 on
Monday 7/21 between 1PM to 2:15PM. Do you (or anybody else) have any more
information about this meeting? What do you feel about joining this wireless
WG summit (if it indeed takes place)?
