  5. Next Revision Process is Starting • TGmc will be formed in September • Tasked with updating 802.11 with new amendments • Prior to starting, opened comment period on current standard

  6. Significance of Comment Period • When writing new amendments, only items pertaining to that specific PAR can be addressed • There is no other time than now to address any other parts of the standard • Standard is too big and complex and Working Group to big and diverse to allow unstructured revision process • Process allows general, open, commenting on the whole standard at the start of a new revision cycle. • The whole standard is under review, now is the time to address not only errors, but anything you might not like (some have proposed eliminating the PICS, for instance)

  7. How to • Get a copy of the standard and review it (yes, I know how big it is) http://www.techstreet.com/ieeegate.html. • If a member of 802.11 WG, comment form is on their web site http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/ • If not a member, either Tom or I can submit comments for you
