  2. OSI Reference Model Application Presentation Session Transport Network Data Link Physical Medium Who we are • IEEE Project 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee (aka IEEE 802 or LMSC) • Develop LAN and MAN standards • Mainly for link and physical layers of the network stack (exception IEEE 802.21) • In operation since early 1980 IEEE 802 Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  3. IEEE Standards Association aka RevCom aka NesCom IEEE 802 is here: a standards committee formed by the Computer Society Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  4. Some Terms • WG - Working group – responsible for developing standards in an area • TAG – Technical Advisory Group – experts on a topic area that crosses working groups – may develop a recommended practice. • Task group or task force – a part of a working group which focuses on a particular project. • Study group – a part of a working group which focuses on writing PARs and 5Cs • PAR – project authorization request – the document that authorizes work on a project. • 5C – The Five Criteria. Defines 1.) the broad market potential, 2.) Compatibility, 3.) Distinct Identity, 4.) Technical Feasibility, and 5.) Economic Feasibility of a proposed PAR • CA – Coexistence Assurance document. Any wireless project must submit one of these to 802.19 prior to letter ballot. Demonstrates how this project will coexist with other 802 wireless standards Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  5. STANDARD Passage Requires 75% or greater approval (Typically 95% Needed) ReVCom Review Draft, Approve or reject IEEE 802 SPONSOR GROUP Rejected Review Draft, Approve or reject WORKING GROUP Debate Technology, Write a Draft Standard TASK GROUPS PAR Approved Gain support, prepare and submit a PAR STUDY GROUPS Initial Idea for a standard or improvement to a standard AD_HOC GROUPS IEEE 802: Standardization Process Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  6. IEEE SA Patent Policy • Advise the WG attendees that: • The IEEE’s patent policy is consistent with the ANSI patent policy and is described in Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws; • Early identification of patent claims which may be essential for the use of standards under development is strongly encouraged; • There may be Essential Patent Claims of which the IEEE is not aware. Additionally, neither the IEEE, the WG, nor the WG chair can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any assurance or whether any such assurance is, in fact, of a Patent Claim that is essential for the use of the standard under development. • Instruct the WG Secretary to record in the minutes of the relevant WG meeting: • That the foregoing information was provided and that slides 1 through 4 (and this slide 0, if applicable) were shown; • That the chair or designee provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may be essential for the use of that standard • Any responses that were given, specifically the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) that were identified (if any) and by whom. • The WG Chair shall ensure that a request is made to any identified holders of potential essential patent claim(s) to complete and submit a Letter of Assurance. • It is recommended that the WG chair review the guidance in IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual 6.3.5 and in FAQs 12 and 12a on inclusion of potential Essential Patent Claims by incorporation or by reference. Note: WG includes Working Groups, Task Groups, and other standards-developing committees with a PAR approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board. Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  7. Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform • All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants: • “Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents • “Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents orpatent claims • “Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) • The above does not apply if the patentclaim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group • Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2 • Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged • No duty to perform a patent search Slide #1 Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  8. Patent Related Links All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development.

  16. Declaration of Affiliation Required • Revision: Feb 2006 Standards Board Bylaw 5.2.1.1 • 5.2.1.1 Openness • Openness is defined as the quality of being not restricted to a particular type or category of participants. All meetings involving standards development an all IEEE Sponsor ballots shall be open to all interested parties. Each individual participant in IEEE Standards activities shall disclose his or her affiliations when requested. A person who knows or reasonably should know, that a participant’s disclosure is materially incomplete or incorrect should report that fact to the Secretary of the IEEE-SA Standards Board and the appropriate Sponsors. Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC

  17. Declaration of Affiliation • * Disclosure of Affiliation:During 2006, the IEEE-SA Board of Governors and the IEEE-SA Standards Board recognized that making visible those interests that are funding participation in Working Groups and Sponsor ballots would improve transparency and openness in IEEE-SA standards development. In December 2006, changes to the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws and the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual were approved to make the Declaration of Employer and Affiliation mandatory in various IEEE-SA activities. In support of this requirement, myProject is collecting Declaration of Employer at the personal level (via myInfo) and Declaration of Affiliation at both the project and Sponsor ballot levels (via the Technical Activity Area selection process).The Declaration of Employer at the personal level was implemented in early February 2006 and those who have logged into myProject since then have been directed to provide their Employer as a mandatory field within their contact information before being allowed to go further into the system. Effective 2 April 2007, the same direction apply for Declaration of Affiliation at the Sponsor, Working Group, and Project levels.A complete set of FAQs (definitions of Employer and Affiliation; what will be done with the information; the consequences of not providing information or of providing erroneous data; etc.) is also available. • Information is available on the myProject site:http://standards.ieee.org/resources/development/isdolnews.htmlAnd through our FAQs page:http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/affiliationFAQ.html Mike Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLC
