Session #1 of IEEE 802.21
Title: Message
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.
Regards,
DJ
