[STDS-802-16] Fwd: 802 EC Ballot on IMT-Advanced requirements contribution

["Roger B. Marks" <r.b.marks@ieee.org>]

This note announces an 802 EC ballot to approve a contribution to ITU- 
R WP 8F proposing some suggestions regarding IMT-Advanced technical  
requirements. The draft contribution was developed by 802.18, with  
significant participation from the 802.16 Correspondence Group on the  
topic (which held one or two teleconferences per week since March).

An easy way to find the draft is to use this link:
  <http://ieee802.org/18/Meeting_documents/2007_Mar/?M=D>

and look for the two documents, near the top, with "0026" in the file  
name.

The deadline is May 12, so I'll put this on the agenda for the  
Session #49 Opening Plenary. However, I suggest that you review the  
document this week. Because of the tight schedule (with a  
contribution deadline of 16 May), I believe that it is probably too  
late to address comments.

Roger

> Dear EC members,
>
> During the March Plenary meeting it was decided that 802.18 would work
> by conference call to develop an input on IMT Advanced requirements  
> for
> the May meeting of ITU-R WP8F. To that end there were six conference
> calls held. The EC was provided summaries of each of those calls.
>
> On 30 April 802.18 met by conference call to vote on the final  
> document.
> The pool of eligible voters included the chairs of the participating
> WGs, and a quorum was present. A roll call vote was conducted and the
> document, 18-07-0026, was approved. The tally was 12/0/0.
>
> This document is not meant to be the only input from IEEE 802  
> regarding
> IMT Advanced. It may be that there will be additional inputs to ITU-R
> WP8F on this topic and others.
>
> This input proposes changes to an existing ITU-R WP8F document. The
> normal format for submitting a document such as this to ITU-R is with
> the changes tracked. We realized that this can make review of the
> document more complicated. What 802.18 has done is to provide the EC
> with two versions of Doc. 18-07-0026; one with change bars and one
> without. Both are available at http://ieee802.org/18/, in the March  
> 2007
> meeting documents folder.
>
> As was agreed when this process was started there will be parallel
> ballots in the EC and in the WGs that participated. The 30 April  
> meeting
> directed me to present 18-07-0026 to the EC for approval.
>
> Motion: Moved by Mike Lynch, seconded by Roger Marks
>
> To approve document 18-07-0026-00-0000 PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO  
> [IMT.TECH]
> as an 802 document, authorizing the chair of 802.18 to do necessary
> editorial and formatting changes and, using the document as a
> "template", create the appropriate input to ITU-R WP8F.
>
> Informative: This document provides ITU-R WP8F with the views of IEEE
> 802 on the topic of IMT Advanced requirements.
>
> This ballot opens at midnight CDT Tuesday 1 May and closes at midnight
> CDT Saturday 12 May 2007.
