  1. 802.11 2nd Vice Chair’s Report – July 2012 Authors: Date: 2012-07-15 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  2. This presentation is a status update on attendance, membership, balloting and documentation matters. • If you are new to 802.11, read document 11-12/0628 • That document covers material every 802.11 member needs to know: Places to look for information, Policies and Procedures, Patent Policy, WG Guidelines, Network, Attendance, Membership, Documentation, Reflectors Introduction Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  3. 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 802.11 Assigned Numbers Authority (ANA) Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  4. The latest database is 11-11/0270r9 (April 2012) Changes since last meeting: Added "MAC addresses" resource and allocation for TGaa. ANA - 2 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  5. Meeting Registration Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  6. Current Membership Status • Definitions: • Aspirant: a member who has attended 1 qualifying meeting • Potential Voter: a member who has attended 2 qualifying meetings and will become a voter at the start of the next plenary they attend Data as of 2012-06-06 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  7. Recent voting member history Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  8. 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. WG Balloting - ePoll Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  9. 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 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  10. An 802.11 voting member will get attendance credit for attending any of the following groups: • 802.18 (Coexistence WG) • 802.19 (Radio Regulatory TAG) • ECSG SG (Smart Grid) • 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. Reciprocal Credit Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

  11. Session graphic July 2012 Register once • 17 Normal slots, 2 Extra slots • 75% attendance requires 13 slots attended • Closing plenary requires only 1 registration for 2 slot credit Joint meeting with 802.1 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation Source: 11-12/0720r0
