As most of you know, the performance adhoc committee of 802.17 was formed
in January 2001 to respond to the performance modeling needs of 802.17. Its
activities started before then when it was a pre-adhoc committee formed
in July 2000 to address these needs. I volunteered to help by chairing
this effort in the meantime since performance modeling is what I do for a
living.
Since 802.17 is now an official WG with rules and procedures to follow, the
plan is to have a motion to 802.17 to officially charter the performance
modeling ad-hoc committee in the coming interim meeting in May (assuming that
we meet our quorum requirements, otherwise we will have to take all the
motions as straw polls, and ask to have those straw polls affirmed at our July
meeting).
Based on the discussions that we had in the past several sessions of the
ad-hoc committee, I pulled together the points that were agreed upon
within the ad-hoc, and I'm posting them here for any opinions and
feedback. I'm including the following:
- Proposed Charter
- Summary list of accomplishments to date
- Preliminary list of some of the open issues that the performance
modeling ad-hoc group can help resolve
Please have a look at these items (which are attached) and voice any
opinions that you may have on the reflector. These are preliminary. Your
feedback and input are most welcome. My proposed plan is as follows:
- Debate these items on the reflector
- Confirm the charter at the performance adhoc committee meetings in May
- Invite people who wish to run for chair of the performance ad-hoc
committee to declare their intent on the reflector (with a short bio) and at
the meeting in May
- Hold an election within the ad-hoc for a chair
- Have a motion put forward on Thursday to officially charter the
adhoc, and another motion to confirm the Adhoc's choice of chair
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
