Vivek:

Does this mean you are running for both positions? Editor and Chair?

[Vivek G Gupta]

I believe elections are held only for the Chair and Vice Chair positions.

My understanding is that Editor and Secretary are usually appointed by the Chair.

If not elected as Chair, are you to continue as the 802.21 editor?

[Vivek G Gupta]

That would depend on the elected Chair.

Good luck, Peretz Feder

[Vivek G Gupta] Thanks

All,

 

As we prepare for Letter Ballot in March, its clear 802.21 has come a long way. However we still have significant challenges going forward. We need to work with different media specific SDOs in 802, IETF and 3GPP/3GPP2 to get 802.21 specific amendments done. We also need to work very closely with operators and other alliances such as FMCA to better understand their needs for adoption and deployment of 802.21 and do the needful. That’s one way forward to get industry acceptance for an emerging standard such as 802.21.

We do need to complete the current work and continue to make progress towards the ballot process. However if there are opportunities for tackling other handover related issues we need to look into those and see how we can address them within 802.21. This could involve creating other sub-groups or task-groups within 802.21 and we could do other things in a more staged manner.

 

For these reasons and other upcoming exciting opportunities I would like to announce my candidacy for Chair in 802.21.

 

Best Regards

-Vivek
