23.1. Chair: Any nominations23.1.1. Eldad Perahia23.1.2. Sheung Li

23.2. Chair: Ok, the nominations are now closed. Would the nominees like to come and make their presentations.

23.3. Sheung Li (11-09-0152r0)23.4. Q: Do you have support from your sponsor for the duration for TGad23.5. A: Yes, and indeed I feel that my small company will not be able to set policy within the

group23.6. Q: Do have any schemes to reduce conflict with 802.11 task groups.23.7. A: I have to understand that opinions are valid. Previously I’ve always tried to resolve

issues, before allowing any votes. Work toward compromises.

23.8. Eldad Perahia (11-09-0027r0)23.9. Q: There are two task groups working on similar issues, 802.15.3c and TGad. How will

you handle the overlap?23.10. A: We need a dedicated contact person in both groups.23.11. C: As chair of 802.15.3c, I appreciate your co-operation so far.

23.12. Chair: Any additional questions for either candidates23.13. Q: To both. How will you deal with people not providing technical content due to

conflict of interests?23.14. Eldad: Technically I prefer to leave my work to TGac (< 6 GHz)23.15. Sheung: Eldad is stronger than me technically, but I feel that I’m more of an

administrator. Technical aspects stand on their merits within the task group.23.16. Chair: Ready to vote. Do the candidates wish to leave the room?23.17. Chair: There are two choices, for voting members only.23.18. Q: I assume this is a simple majority vote?23.19. Chair: Yes23.20. Please stand for Sheung Li as TGad chair: 2323.21. Please stand for Eldad Perahia as TGad chair: 5323.22. Chair: I therefore announce Eldad as the new TGad chair.23.23. Q: Point of order: Are you going to count the abstains?23.24. Chair: I don’t think they will add anything. It was not a motion.23.25. Chair: Please note that we do have some TGad slots in this week’s agenda. I’d also like to

thank Sheung for all his contributions in IEEE 802.11 and his presentation today.

24. Membership Rule Change Proposal (11-09-0018r0)

24.1. Vice chair: From slide #13, you can tell that the number of sequential letter ballots is increasing. As the LMSC rules state that you lose voting rights for missing 2 out of 3 ballots, I propose a change to the rules.

24.2. One idea is to increase the integration time over which we perform the calculation of loss of membership.

24.3. I don’t want to bring a motion today, but I do seek advice and comments.



24.4. Q: 3 out of 4 would be better. The real problem is when you get several letter ballots, running simultaneously, on documents which have not passed the 75% approval rate.

24.5. Chair: But because of the way the calculation is made, a change in the time integration time is required, not really the absolute number.

24.6. Q: The choices of being able to vote are too diverse. Approve, disapprove and “abstain due to lack of technical knowledge”, sometime don’t cover the problem of running out of time to vote. It’s not the honest thing to do. In a sponsor ballot, you can vote with “abstain due to lack of time”.

24.7. Q: In 802.15, we appeal to the EC when people lost their voting rights.24.8. Chair: Sure, we do consider appeals in 802.11.24.9. Q: Can we state that two ballots that terminate in the same week, count as a single

membership ballot.24.10. C: Regarding lack of time, I believe that you can have this as an option. Hence 802.11

could consider it. I also think that people are still confused between mandatory and non-mandatory.

24.11. Vice-chair: If someone looses their voting rights due to lack of time, we don’t usually allow the appeal. For other reasons, we will consider them. Perhaps it should be a more specific rule.

24.12. Q: We acquire rights based on a time schedule, but loose then on an event basis. We need people to vote and must encourage people to pay attention and review the drafts. Hence I agree that multiple ballots in close proximity should be treated as a single event for membership consideration.

24.13. Q: Over the last few years, the number of voting members was higher, but the number of letter ballots was lower. Hence the time required to be an 802.11 voting member has increased on an individual basis.

24.14. Chair: Another method is to introduce the sponsor ballot pool concept into letter ballots.24.15. Chair: Ok, we’ll come back in March 2009 with more information on this.

25. Future Meeting Schedule

25.1. Chair: This was raised on Monday. Shall we still continue to attend meetings in the future, due to the economic crisis?

25.2. Chair: Please remember that we must consider those meetings, where hotels are already under contract. The cancellation penalties can be very severe. I will try to bring back to this group what the contractual effects of cancellation would be.

25.3. Chair: I will limit the discussion time to 15 minutes.25.4. C: Each task group needs to consider the interim meetings. Can any groups wrap up

early? For example, can TGw cancel some of their future meetings? It would also be useful to consider modern tools, which allow improved external attendance, as has been done in the whitespace experiment this week. Another issue is voting with external meetings (such as teleconferences). Please can other people stand up and give me some feedback.

25.5. C: Since task groups have specific life cycles, I think that face to face meetings are essential. TGn have been meeting for 5 years and therefore can work effectively with a face to face every 4 months, with the comment resolution committee meeting by teleconference between those times. Hence towards the end of the lifecycle, perhaps groups could arrange their own interims.



25.6. C: regarding the cancelling of interims. Can I remind the WG about the cancellation charges, which would amount to over $1 million dollars, which would bankrupt the 802.11/15 treasury. Beyond the existing contractual agreements, this may be possible.

25.7. Chair: I appreciate that you came in late, but I’ve already mentioned that point at the start. We have thought about other ways of conducting business where we can. Perhaps have smaller interim meetings with less task groups.

25.8. Q: I’m treasurer of 802.15, and I’m not sure about the $1 million dollars. The cycles of each task groups vary and possibly not having all these groups meeting would be fine. Perhaps they could have multiple ad hocs instead. However, the voting rights rules must be changed to reflect this. Smaller meetings may also reduce the meeting expense. We’re still running interims as though we have 1000 people.

25.9. C: To make decisions for WG which are in hibernation, this is fine. However for new issues such as whitespace, everyone across many WGs must be considered simultaneously. I think it’s more effective to keep the meetings going, but use external tools for teleconferencing.

25.10. C: Cancelling interims is not practical. It would create too much upheaval within the groups. However, teleconferences are great, but cannot replace face to face meetings. Again voting rights may be modified. Remember that you only have to attend plenaries to maintain your voting rights.

25.11. C: It costs about $17 a day for your internet per person. We have reduced the cookies and coffee, but that causes problems. In order to get the meeting space, we had to guarantee so much money on food and beverages, so it’s always a trade off.

26. Whitespace Activity (11-09-0077r3)

26.1. This topic was covered in WNG SC last night.26.2. This is regarding the use of unused TV channels at a specific location at a specific time.26.3. Biggest block appears to be wireless microphones, which travel around.26.4. Constant sensing is imperative to run this scheme, which requires power.

26.5. Motion: The IEEE 802.11 Working Group supports an IEEE 802 Petition for Reconsideration of FCC rules 47 CFR 15.711(b)(iii) and 47 CFR 15.711(c )(i) that discusses the alternative concepts presented in slides 11 and 13 of 11-09/0077r3, and authorizes Peter Ecclesine to work with 802.18 to incorporate these alternative concepts in an IEEE 802 petition.

26.6. Moved: Peter Ecclesine, 2nd : Richard Kennedy26.7. Chair: How many members of 802.18 do we have here: 326.8. Q: Apologies, but I don’t understand this motion.26.9. C: The first ruling (in the motion above) refers to you may have to wait for 48 hrs, if you

don’t have access to the internet (i.e. the TV band database). Hence you have to constantly sense, which uses power. The second ruling (in the motion) refers to sensing wireless microphones.

26.10. Q: So do you want a waiver to sense wireless microphones?26.11. A: No, I want to question whether these rules can be re-considered.26.12. Chair: Please can we look at slide #13. Do we have a specific question for the FCC, or

are we going to tell them that there rules do not make sense (from an 802.11 point of view).26.13. A: The latter.26.14. Chair: Back to the motion, no more discussion.26.15. For 53, Against 1, Abstain 14 (Motion passes 98.14%)



27. 802.21 PARs

27.1. Chair: Scott Henderson from IEEE 802.21 will present an 802.21 PAR for our information.

27.2. IEEE 802.21 Emergency Services Study Group PAR27.3. This group has generated a PAR which I wish to show to you today.27.4. Please can you send any comments this week to 802.21, which we can address on

Thursday morning.27.5. Chair: Please can you send your presentation number to the 802.11 reflector. Please note

that this is to pre-empt the EC vote on this in March.

27.6. IEEE 802.21 Power Radio Management PAR (11-09-0158r)27.7. Again it would be nice to receive comments at this point.

35. WG Reports

35.1. Publicity35.1.1. The chair and secretary spoke to Eric Griffith (PC magazine) on Wednesday, as

mentioned during the opening plenary on Monday. He wanted to know about the current status of TGn, Very High Throughput and TGs. All the information that was spoken about was public domain information and indeed some of his questions (especially about timescales), were not answered as he was referred to the 802.11 website.



35.2. Timelines35.2.1. The secretary presented the updated timeline chart, which was updated last night for

several task groups. There are still some changes missing and these will be done over the weekend.

35.2.2. Q: Please can someone put in URL links for k, r, and y?35.2.3. Chair: Please note that the TGmb timeline has been changed to N/A. This is quite an

important issue.35.2.4. Chair: note that we still do not have a solution to the TGmb editor problem.

36. WG Committee Reports (11-09-0190r0)

36.1. Technical editor (slide #3)36.1.1. I must thank for the editors.36.1.2. There are no new requests for ANA.36.1.3. The running order does not appear to be changed as of Tuesday. The new dates from the

update timeline have not been considered yet.36.1.4. All amendment inclusions were updated on Tuesday morning.36.1.5. Q: What version of frame are we using?36.1.6. Frame 7.2, but the vice-chair is trying out Frame 8.0, which allows colored track changes.

Hence I suggest that TGac should start with TGac.

36.2. WNG SC (slide #21)36.2.1. Broadband issues were discussed36.2.2. Whitespace was also discussed, which influences 802.18 and 802.22.

36.2.2.1. Wireless microphones are the biggest issue and it is felt by some members that some of the FCC requirements are broken in this respect

36.2.3. Chair: So what will happen next36.2.4. A: There will be 802.18 teleconference, which we can all join in. They would like inputs

from the other 802 WGs, so that they can pass something out in a letter ballot.

36.3. ARC (slide #28)36.3.1. No questions

36.4. TGmb (slide #31)36.4.1. I wanted to emphasize the situation within TGmb. The shown candidate on the screen

(slide #32) actually attacked the secretary during the week, which is a bit extreme.36.4.2. We are looking at various options for sponsoring an editor. Please talk to the 802.11

treasurer if you have any information. I understand that MSword may be a possible tool which can be used.

36.4.3. Q: Did we address the FCS issue in TGn?36.4.4. A: Yes, that was done.36.4.5. C: Perhaps we should re-consider this in TGn36.4.6. C: Ok, but I don’t think that will change the interpretation request.

36.5. TGn (slide #39)36.5.1. LB138 closed in December 2008, with 95.25% approval. Hence this allowed TGn to go

sponsor ballot. This closed 2 weeks ago and finished with 77.8% approval.

groups can expose their interfaces to allow this .21 to proceed.37.1.2. A: Could you respond to the email on the 802.11 mailing list.37.1.3. Chair: There was an email about some other 802.21 PARs, which we can respond to.37.1.4. 802.21a met for the first time as a new security task group.37.1.5.

39. Other New Business

39.1. Loosing Voting Rights (11-09-0018r2)39.1.1. Straw Poll: Do you support changing the rule that currently requires a voting

member to return “2 of 3” mandatory letter ballots to “4 of 6”?39.1.2. Q: Is this the only straw poll in this item of business39.1.3. A: Yes, because there were flaws in our earlier ideas39.1.4. Q: How does this equate to the upper rules that the WG is bound by. Doesn’t the EC

need to approve this?39.1.5. A: I believe we can do this immediately, within the rules. We are re-interpreting the

word “active”. But I do recommend that we take our new interpretation to the EC, regarding the LMSC rules, which we are bound by.

39.1.6. Q: Please can this be minuted.39.1.7. Chair: yes. The commenter is correct, as the EC may have a different view of the rules

than this WG.39.1.8. Yes: 45, No: 4, Abstain: 3

39.2. Whitespace Experiment Straw polls39.2.1. Chair: The straw poll had actually failed due to an error in their process. However it has

been suggestion is that the experiment actually went not too well. Do we have any more opinions and/or comments?

39.2.2. C: Some of the people calling in were trying to correct what was being said, which was useful. However apart from that the sound was not too good.

39.2.3. C: Of course, in terms of an experiment; it was a success, even though the results of that experiment itself were negative. Trying to get non f2f meetings to work is a good objective and these experiments should continue.

39.2.4. C: We were restricted by the tool of the chair’s company. Hence we should try other tools next time.

39.3. Venue Planning39.3.1. Chair: I would like to repeat this issue about financial conditions on our future venue

meetings. I’ve asked the joint 802.11/802.15 treasury to determine what cancellation fees would be incurred.

39.3.2. Q: I think the previous discussion about the whitespace segways into this point quite well. To circumvent a lot of WG discussion and time, I thought I’d bring a couple of personal motions at this time.

39.3.3. Motion 139.3.4. The 802.11 WG requests the WG Chair to investigate new modes of WG operation,

including the possible cancellation of future interim sessions and an increased use of remote collaboration tools. Any transition to the new mode of operation should be possible in a way that is financially responsible and that allows the WG to continue to develop high quality standards.

39.3.5. Moved: Andrew Myles

39.3.6. Motion 239.3.7. The 802.11 WG directs the WG Chair not to agree, until the Mar 2009 session, to

any contract for an interim session in Jan 2010 or 2011.



39.3.8. Moved: Andrew Myles

39.3.9. C: I think we’re mixing two issues together here. I support the use of tools, but I think that cancelling meetings shouldn’t be included in the same motion.

39.3.10. C: I think its ok as it is.39.3.11. C: I’m also confused. Are the two slides one motion or two?39.3.12. Chair: Two separate motions, on two separate slides.39.3.13. C: I think that motion 1 is fairly benign. Motion 2 is then the decision itself,

which is attempting to cancel interim meetings. If successful this may result in new procedures and rules. A transition plan would be required. Motion 2 is the stick and please remember that meeting arrangement lead times are quite long. Motion 2 does not allow transition, so therefore I advise case and speak against both motions.

39.3.14. C: I agree that Motion 1 can be split into 2 issues. I think we could have fixed locations for our meetings (e.g. Denver in the summer and Los Angeles in the winter).

39.3.15. C: I speak against the motion39.3.16. Mover: I think there are actually many ideas which have been brought up in these

discussions, which is good…..39.3.17. Chair: Stop! Please can the person at the back erase their photograph which has

just been taken.39.3.18. ……People should not be scared of potentially cancelling interim meetings. This

is why I decided to separate out Motion 2 as a separate item.39.3.19. C: I think that fixing North American venues does not help travel costs for the

whole of the IEEE membership. Please consider this, as a lot of people come from overseas.

39.3.20. Motion to amend39.3.21. May I suggest a change to Motion 1, as follows:39.3.22. The 802.11 WG requests the WG Chair to investigate new modes of WG

operation. This would include the possible cancellation of future interim sessions and an increased use of remote collaboration tools. Any transition to the new mode of operation should be possible in a way that is financially responsible and that allows the WG to continue to develop high quality standards.

39.3.23. Moved: Rolf de Vegt39.3.24. No objection to approving by unanimous consent

39.3.25. C: I speak against this motion, as we do not need this approval to do our work.39.3.26. C: I would like to state that there are many deals in countries, where the

economic crisis is hitting badly. Conference centers would be glad to have us.39.3.27. C: I think the chair does this task anyway and hence I speak against this motion.

The WG should not need to do this. The WG officers were elected with this mandate.39.3.28. Chair: Question is called.

39.3.29. The 802.11 WG requests the WG Chair to investigate new modes of WG operation. This would include the possible cancellation of future interim sessions and an increased use of remote collaboration tools. Any transition to the new mode of operation should be possible in a way that is financially responsible and that allows the WG to continue to develop high quality standards.

39.3.30. Moved: Andrew Myles39.3.31. For: 11, Against: 28, Abstain: 9 (Procedural motion, fails with 29.73%)



39.3.32. Mover: I am disappointed with this result, but I thank the chair for going ahead with the sentiment of the motion anyway. I would like to withdraw Motion 2 from the table.

39.3.33. Chair: Granted39.3.34. C: Please may I have a straw poll?39.3.35. Chair: I thought we’d covered this issue already in the previous motion.

39.3.36. Straw Poll: The 802.11 WG requests the WG Chair to investigate new modes of WG operation. This may include the increased use of remote collaboration tools.

39.3.37. C: I thought that this issue is covered in the WG Chair’s mandate and in the P&P bylaws. I think this straw poll is a waste of time.

39.3.38. Chair: I think it is rather superfluous, but I will still allow it.39.3.39. Yes: 28, No: 8, Abstain: 11

39.4. P&P39.4.1. I recall that our current P&Ps have not been approved. This was mentioned on Monday.39.4.2. Chair: This is actually the 802 P&Ps. The standard’s board had not had enough time to

consider the changes and hence the approval date had been postponed.
