Dear EC members,
On Thursday, the 14th of September the IEEE 802.18 Radio Regulatory Technical Advisory Group approved an input document to the FCC Notice of Inquiry entitled “Expanding Flexible Use in Mid-Band Spectrum Between 3.7 and 24 GHz”.
The vote in the TAG was 15/0/0.
I would now like to proceed to the motion in respect to this submission. I am seeking an early close (see below), as this is a somewhat urgent matter, as Paul has been instructed to run this response through the IEEE BoD Global Public Policy Committee process, which will take some time. The deadline for filing is 02 October 2017. Paul has delegated the conduct of the EC electronic ballot to me.
