Recording Attendance• It is a requirement that attendees record their participation at an

802.11 session and declare their affiliation. This record is usually made using the IMAT attendance system.– If you wish to participate without recording attendance, send an email per

session to the WG 2nd vice chair declaring your participation and affiliation. You cannot gain or maintain 802.11 voting membership using this method.

• You must record 75% attendance of eligible 802.11 slots in a session for that session to count towards gaining or maintaining 802.11 voting membership– You need a single IEEE-SA web account

• The IEEE SA web account requires a working email address• do not remove your email address from the account

– Use the email address associated with that web account when registering attendance• If you change email addresses, update the web account, don’t create a new

web account, or your membership status may not be calculated properly

– Record attendance using this URL: https://imat.ieee.org/attendance

EC workshop agendaNovember 2013


Should the 802 community consider separating from the IEEE SA and establishing an independent SDO?How much background info in a PARAdherence to process for PARs.How strict does the EC want to be in applying existing rules?Next Gen publishing system802 Marketing for 2014Cooperation and contributions of the other WGs in the 802.1-OmniRAN project? What is the opportunity/impact on WGs?

China outreach for March plenaryNon-USA meetings services requirements Take feedback on Geneva meeting and identify any issues Review existing requirements and discuss if they are adequate

Why are there term limits for elected members of the EC vs there are no term limits for chair of 802 and voting appointees.Technical interchange between WGs We have tutorials. But should there be a way of encouraging increased technical interchange between each others' groups.

Report

Metadata repair project

• ~8000 documents on mentor have “N/A” for the Author (Affiliation) field.

• These were largely the result of moving between various documentation systems.

• At the request of 802.11, IEEE-SA provided a feature to download, correct, and upload the metadata.

• I “crowdsourced” the collection of corrected metadata to 802.11 members. Over a period of a few weeks, they supplied the corrected data, which have now been uploaded.

802.11 Assigned Numbers Authority (ANA)

• The 802.11 ANA is Adrian Stephens

• The purpose of the ANA is to ensure we have no conflicts for numbers between parallel 802.11 developments. Such a conflict has the potential to create interoperability problems.

• The ANA Process: – Request by TG Editor (or TG chair) to ANA

– ANA checks for conflicts with TG Editors

– ANA issues revised spreadsheet showing any changes

Report

WG Balloting - ePoll• Each WG letter ballot sequence (i.e., task group) has its own

voting pool set to the voting members of 802.11 at the time the ballot first reaches 75% approval.– I get asked all the time “should I vote on this ballot”

– The answer is “go check the voters list published with each and every ballot”. There’s a link on the 802.11 home page during the ballot.

• The mechanism we will use to collect votes/comments is the ePoll mechanism provided by the IEEE-SA.– Use either individual comments or the template .csv spreadsheet provided.

– Can also supply comments using .xls format

– You will need to sign in using your IEEE-SA web account

– Last ballot (LB187) was successful – people seem to be getting used to the technology quickly.

• If you are new to writing comments or comment resolutions, please see document 11-11/1625.

Report

Reciprocal Credit• An 802.11 voting member will get attendance credit for

attending any of the following groups:– 802.18 (Radio Regulatory TAG)

– 802.19 (Coexistence WG)

– OmniRAN ECSG SG

– 802.24 (Smart Grid TAG)

• Note that this means you can maintain 802.11 voting status while attending these groups, but you cannot gain 802.11 voting status.

• For 802.18 / 802.19 / ECSG SG attendance – There should be an option under IMAT to record reciprocal credit.

Report

TGaj Inaugral voters• 29 members attended the TGaj inaugural meeting

(Sept 2012).

• Non-voters were granted immediate voting status – i.e., they are treated as an exception to the normal rules requiring “2 of 4 plenaries”.

• I propose to remove this exception after the March 2014 Plenary.

• This means they must meet the “2 of 4 plenaries” rule after March to maintain voting membership.

• Attendance at the January China Interim and March China Plenary suffices to maintain voting membership.
