Session #1 of IEEE 802.21
Dear 802.16 Folks,
The note below, from 802.21 Interim Chair DJ Johnson, updates you on
the status of that group <http://ieee802.org/handoff>.
I would like to encourage continued interactions between 802.16 and
802.21. Therefore, I will grant 802.16 participation credit for those
who participate in 802.21. I'd also like to name an official liaison
from 802.16 to 802.21 during the Closing Plenary of Session #30.

>Time is approaching for the March IEEE 802 Plenary meeting. Since we
>have received IEEE SA approval we are now IEEE 802.21 and so the
>session number has reverted to 1. The title of the web page has been
>adjusted accordingly.
>
>I have been at the IETF this week and I have received good input
>from the mobopts (IP Mobility Optimizations) and the dna (Detection
>of Network Attachments) groups concerning requirements for 802.21. I
>will be presenting material based on that.
>
>In addition I have seen early versions of .21 submissions on
>architectural issues to support detection and triggers.
>
>In keeping with the decision at the last meeting that we would
>concentrate on architecture, use cases, requirements etc. I would
>like to request that people attempt to slant their contributions in
>those directions.
>
>The other important activity we will be engaging in is the officer
>elections for Chair and Vice Chair. I will be posting the rules on
>the web site shortly. Please review them and comment if you have
>issues with the procedures. The elections will be held at the
>closing 802.21 plenary on Thursday afternoon. Attendance at 4 802.21
>meetings in the week in addition to attendance at the closing
>plenary will be required to achieve voting rights to participate in
>the elections, in accordance with the LMSC rules.
