[RPRWG] 802.17 Follow On Projects - Results of 7/22 Ad Hoc Meeting
All,
We have just finished our Ad Hoc meeting to determine what the potential
follow-on projects may be. The session began with brainstorming for ideas,
followed by a vote of those that were strongly in support of or strongly
against the ideas(First number is FOR, second number is AGAINST). The
following list is the result of the brain-storming session and the voting:
Where there is a name next to an item it means that person has volunteered
to "champion" it and will bring a one or two slide presentation to the WG on
Thursday, outlining what the project should include and why we should do it.
Ideas without champions cannot progress. Note that some of the ideas will
be combined by the "champion" for presentation on Thursday.
The objective of this exercise is to initiate one or more study groups that
will run from the close of this meeting until the close of the November
plenary.
If anyone reading this note wants to champion any of the ideas not presently
supported, they are requested to develop a short (one or two slides, or more
if desired) presentation, fleshing out the idea and supporting it. They
will then have the opportunity to make their presentation to the working
group on Thursday.
Best regards.
Robert D. Love
