I
suggest we add "coordinated" to the list of terms we need to define
before we get too far down the road. Is sharing a geolocation database
considered coordination, or is a "control channel" required?

Mariana's Straw Poll
Those
two questions beg some additional comments:
The
second asks TWO questions: should a coordination protocol be developed, and if
so, centralized or distributed?
The
my answer is "yes" and "distributed".
It
seems to me the definition of WS is coordinated access. But not all
devices will be capable of common signaling (i.e. able to exchange information
with each other). This may complicate coexistence a bit :0). A
centralized solution assumes all participants can exchange information. A
distributed approach can take advantage of shared information, but also can
provide independent means. Seems like all the focus is already on the
centralized approach, which doesn't seem to account for all potential spectrum
users, so a good thing for 802 to provide is an alternative distributed
coexistence strategy that fills the 'gap' so to speak.
Just
a thought....probably redundant, but offered FWIW.
