Updated Emergency Services EC Study Group Meeting Announcement

[SEC members, (again) please forward this to your WG distribution lists]
Colleagues-

Just a quick note to confirm the arrangements for the Emergency Services Executive Committee Study Group meetings to be held in Hawaii.
Face-to-Face has confirmed my requested schedule of T/W/Th (as shown in my earlier message below).
I look forward to meeting you and meeting with you in Hawaii.
One additional item that I would like to add to the agenda as shown below is:
  • Appropriate scoping of successful projects
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me any time between now and the meetings.
(Also, if there is anyone that is interested in the work of the SG but will not be attending the Hawaii meetings, please get in touch with me by e-mail. I do intend to set up a SG reflector in the near future.)

Best regards,

Geoff Thompson
Chair, 802 Emergency Services EC Study Group

Colleagues-

As many of you already know,  at the July Plenary the 802.21 Emergency Services Study Group PAR that had been distributed to the rest of 802 for approval consideration was withdrawn. The Study Group itself was changed from a 802.21 Study Group to an Executive Committee Study Group.  Geoff Thompson (yours truly) was appointed by the chair of 802 to be the chair of the new Emergency Services Executive Committee Study Group (ES-ECSG).

The ES-ECSG will be meeting during the 802 Wireless Interim Session during the week of September 20-25, 2009.  The session will be held at the Hilton Waikoloa Village (On Hawaii’s Big Island), Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA.

Please see: http://ieee802.facetoface-events.com/sessions/58/index.php
for meeting hotel reservation and session registration requirements.

My plan is to hold meetings:
    Tuesday morning
    Tuesday afternoon
    NOT Wednesday AM (to allow atten. at 802.11 midweek plenary)
    Wednesday afternoon
    Thursday morning
The above schedule is somewhat subject to change based on meeting room availability.  I will let you know promptly as soon as we have confirmed meeting space or are given a requirement to change the above schedule.

Items on the agenda will be:
  • Introduce new chair
  • Introduce established participants to new chair
  • Set ground rules for ECSG and organization thereof
  • Finalize schedule and agenda for the week
  • Review current PAR & 5 Criteria
  • Review July inputs to P&5C from other WGs
  • Generate (requested) status report to 802.11 (late Tues PM)
  • 802 Scope & architecture relationship discussions
  • Plans for going forward
I look forward to working with you all in formulating and defining a project that will be satisfactory to all of 802.

If you have any questions, comments or requests for presentation time please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Best regards,

Geoff Thompson
