Colleagues-
I believe that the discussion on the M2M Standardization Task Force may be of interest to some of the WG Chairs, especially Heile.

Two key points from Alain Louchez of Numerex:
o The M2M Standardization Task Force is for individuals who can represent their organizations (SDOs, IEEE, etc.) in various capacities. It's not open to the general public
o TIA 2011 Conference is open to the public at large.
To the best of my knowledge, IEEE does not have a standards committee on M2M communications or devices with embedded communications capability.. Rather, existing IEEE standards committees (e.g. within IEEE 802) may have a M2M study group or task force.

Dear Alan,
Jeff Smith who gave a presentation at the /IEEE ComSoc NATEA SV
workshop/ on M2M in Santa Clara last September suggested that you
and IEEE ComSoc might be interested in the following important event
in the area of M2M.
The US Telecommunications Association (TIA) is hosting the first
*Global Standards Collaboration Machine to Machine Standardization
Task Force (MSTF)* meeting which will be held in Dallas on May 18th,
2011. The MSTF was created in Beijing, China in last September. More information on the MSTF can be obtained at: /_Machine to
Machine_
<http://gsc15.ccsa.org.cn/work_file/GSC15-Res30%20%20Machine%20to%20Machine.doc>/
I am the coordinator of the MSTF meeting. Since the purpose of the
MSTF is to provide a forum where work on M2M/Internet of Things
standardization can be discussed in order to foster harmonization
and avoid duplication of effort, it would be of great interest to
the participants if we could benefit from the views of IEEE or other
related groups. We are in the process of finalizing the agenda and
we would be extremely grateful if we could count on you (or someone
delegated by you) as a speaker (15 mn) to share your group’s
position on M2M/IoT standardization.
The meeting will take place, during TIA 2011, which is a
telecommunications-focused summit and exhibition show
(_http://www.tia2011.org/_), at the following hotel:
Gaylord Texan
1501 Gaylord Trail, Grapevine, Texas 76051
Tel: +1.817.778.2000
The special committee room rate can only be reserved online:

Jeff Smith, Chair of TIA TR-50 Smart Device Communications
Committee, was appointed Convenor of the MSTF. Cheryl Blum, copied
on this e-mail, is TIA Vice President for Technology and Business
Development and in charge of standards at TIA (an update on TIA’s
work on standards can be found here:
_http://www.tianow.org/videos/innovating-standards-feb-11-2011/1479_/)
.
Please let me know your interest and if you have questions. You can
reach me by email or phone at (1) 770-485-2639.
Also, do not hesitate to circulate this invitation to other SDOs,
consortia and fora that might have an interest in M2M (or related
field) standardization.
Thanks,
Alain
/Coordinator of the MSTF meeting/
