RE: [802SEC] Wednesday deadline for 802 News Bulletin info
All,
The response to the call for summary info from the WGs is disappointing.
Why are 802.3, 802.11, 802.15 and 802.17 not responding? What can be done
to improve the process?
It would be beneficial for 802 to publicize an 802-wide summary and promote
what we've accomplished at our plenary session. From that summary, pointers
can be made to WG web sites detailing the specific accomplishments.
Let's make a more concerted effort to provide the summary information to
Karen McCabe.
Thanks,
--Paul Nikolich

Subject: [802SEC] Wednesday deadline for 802 News Bulletin info
Here is an update on the 802 News Bulletin:
*The deadlines of last Monday and last Wednesday are well behind us.
*To me knowledge, only 802.1 and 802.16 have contributed 802 News
Bulletin input.
*No one else has said anything (e.g., "I'll send something"; "I won't
send something", ...)
*802.15 identified Jim Meyer the Working Grop point of contact.

>>Hello,
>>Thanks for the information. It's helpful. We are particularly interested
in
>>the formation of the 802.18 Radio Regulatory Technical Advisory Group.
This
>>may warrant a separate press release. We will be following up for more
>>information.
>>
>>Unfortunately, to date we have not received news items/information from
the
>>802 working group chairs or designated points of contact. Per Roger's
email
>>of 14 March to "stds-802-sec"--that asked for the chairs to try to get us
>>their news items by this past weekend--we anticipated having a portion if
>>not all of the information needed to begin work on the 802 News Bulletin
>>today.
>>
>>I realize moving forward, we are working on putting in place an improved
>>process to get the information in advance of the meetings so we can begin
>>to draft the news bulletin and specific press releases, and I will be
>>providing a plan to 802 that addresses this shortly. However, in light of
>>our current situation, in order for us to get the next edition of the
>>bulletin (covering the recent March 802 Plenary) within the next two
weeks,
>>we need to have all working group activity information by Wed, 20 March.
