802 Architecture Group
Intent: Improve alignment between WG projects and existing 802 architecture by:
- Identifying current problems, omissions, conflicts, ramifications, and their potential resolution
- Identifying potential refinements or changes to the architecture
- Providing a regular forum in which such discussion can take place, in a lower pressure environment than is possible during the core Plenary cycle.
Mechanism
- A meeting per Plenary cycle
- Chaired by 802.1 Chair (Tony Jeffree)
- Participants: Initially, WG Chairs plus one (or more) "architects" or "technical leads"; long term, whoever
- the Chair determines is appropriate/willing
- Meeting Topic: Architectural issues known to each WG and how they might be resolved
Purpose
- To actually have a recurring discussion on architectural issues
- To improve cross-WG discussion/understanding
- To promote a common view
Outputs
- Not detail document oriented
- Consensus, frame of mind, consciousness raising
- Maybe slideware if appropriate
- Topics/thoughts for the focus of the next discussion
- Encouragement to WGs to fix identified problems in appropriate ways
- Simple architecture
- Preservation of layering
First meeting: Sunday 11 July 2004, 2-5 pm
