> At Session #44, I discussed my view of the WG's need to develop and
> track plans for future projects.
>
> I would like to announce the initiation of a Project Planning
> Committee. Brian Kiernan is the Chair, and Panyuh Joo is the Vice
> Chair.
>
> This committee is responsible to identify, develop WG agreement on,
> and maintain a plan for the development of future standards
> projects. They should identify the projects in a general way and
> propose the time frames. On a continuing basis, I would like this
> group to begin tracking the development status and predicted
> timelines of our existing projects as well.
>
> Once the Committee has identified the needs for future projects, it
> can propose appropriate actions (such as recommendations for Study
> Groups or PARs).
>
> I would like the Committee to consider, among other issues, the
> following:
>
> (1) The possibility of a PAR to address IMT-Advanced, as noted in:
> http://ieee802.org/16/liaison/docs/L80216-06_020.pdf
>
> (2) Planning for a revision of IEEE Std 802.16, per the IEEE-SA
> Standards Board Operations Manual:
> "Up to three amendments can be approved before the standard shall
> be revised, unless the base standard has been approved or
> reaffirmed within the past three years. In the latter case,
> multiple amendments may be added until the base standard is three
> years old or three years have elapsed since the most recent
> reaffirmation of the standard. After the three-year period, RevCom
> shall defer consideration of additional amendments or corrigenda
> until a revision or a two-year extension request is approved by the
> IEEE-SA Standards Board. The standard shall not be reaffirmed if
> three or more amendments to the base standard exist."
>
> Note that IEEE Std 802.16 was approved on 24 June 2004.
>
> I have scheduled the Committee for several meetings during Session
> #45.
