That would be fine with me. After this, the subgroups could reference the previous review date by the EC.
Also: With respect to membership, what I meant to ask for was how memberships is determined for the subgroup. For most of them standing committees, it is like a study group, everyone in the room can vote. The actions of these groups is advisory, so the impact of a vote is only to provide advice to the EC.
For the TAGs, membership is determined by the IEEE 802 WG P&P, so referencing the appropriate section would be correct.

James-
It would seem that we should have something more than a declaration by the sub-group chair that responds to the implied questions put forth by the headings. Specifically with respect to:- Name of the subgroup
- Chair of the subgroup (appointed by the Sponsor Chair or decided by
nomination and election)
- Scope of the subgroup
- Duties of the subgroup
I believe that there should be references provided as to the motions (if they exist) that establish each of these items.

All
Our P&Ps states for "Other subgroups" that "The scope, duties, and
membership of all subgroups shall be reviewed annually by the Sponsor."
The scope and duties of a Working Group (WG) are determined by the
active PARs assinged to that WG. The work of the WG in creating
standards is reviewed by the EC multiple times and so does not fall into
this requirement.
However, our TAGs and Standing Committees do not have PARs and so the
Sponsor Chair has asked that we perform this review during our June 2015
Conference call and has assigned me the task of gathering the input.
So, I need from each Standing Committee Chair or TAG Chair, slides by
May 1, 2015 that answer the following questions:
- Name of the subgroup
- Chair of the subgroup (appointed by the Sponsor Chair or decided by
nomination and election)
- Scope of the subgroup
- Duties of the subgroup
- Membership of the subgroup
- A statement of which of the following complementary activities is
appropriate:
1) The subgroup is responsible for the definitive content of one
or more documents and for responding to views and objections thereon.
Such subgroups shall maintain a membership roster and shall comply with
the provisions for preparing standard(s).
2) The subgroup is responsible for assisting the Sponsor (e.g.,
drafting all or a portion of a document, drafting responses to comments,
drafting public statements on standards, or other purely advisory
functions).
(I suspect all our "Other subgroups" are number 2).
I will create a single presentation and upload it to mentor.
The subgroups and Chairs that need to respond are (please correct me if
I am wrong):
- IEEE 802.18 TAG - Mike Lynch
- IEEE 802.24 TAG - Tim Godfrey
- 802 EC/IETF Standing Committee - Pat Thaler
- 802 JTC1 Standing Committee - Andrew Myles
- 802 EC/ITU Standing Committee - Glenn Parsons
- Wireless Chairs Standing Committee - Bob Heile
Thanks for your help.
