  6. Ad Hoc Subgroups andInternal TGs Actions • Ad Hoc Subgroups • Have no special status unless TGs votes on them or their output. • Any group of 802.11 members can get together and make submissions. • Within the P&Ps (RRONR, notice for meetings and Teleconferences), we can do what we want internally: • “Adopted” internal TGs motions/documents can be amended by majority with notice (i.e., if change is on agenda) or 2/3 vote without notice. • We can issue a call for proposals • With no requirements other than the PAR & 5 Criteria • With some guidelines • With detailed requirements • We can have “Functional Requirements Document” that is a general or specific as we like. Donald Eastlake 3rd, Motorola

  7. Ad Hoc Subgroups • Informal ad-hoc subgroups: • Usage Cases – coordinator Steve Conner <w.steven.conner@intel.com> • “Usage Models”, 11-04/764r1 and 11-04/662r7 • Definitions – coordinator Tricci So <tricciso@tadiantzone.com> • “Draft Terms and Definitions for 802.11s”, 11-04/730r1 • Informants re Other 802.11 standards/drafts/study groups • 802.1ae, 802.1af /Security – coordinator Bob Moskowitz <rgm@trusecure.com> • “802.11s Security Proposal”, 11-04/777r0 • 802.11k, 802.11h /Radio Resources/Metrics – coordinator • WNM, CAPWAP /Management – coordinator Donald Eastlake 3rd, Motorola

  8. Ad Hoc Subgroups • Informal ad-hoc subgroups (cont.): • Routing – coordinator Tyan-Shu Jou <tsjou@janusysnetworks.com> • “802.11s Routing Sub-Group Discussion on May 04”, 11-04/765r0 • Quality of Service – coordinator Lily Yang • Security – coordinator Jasmeet Chhabra <jasmeet.chhabra@intel.com> • The above groups may be using the following wiki page: • http://ieee.comnets.rwth-aachen.de/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?/AdHocGroups Donald Eastlake 3rd, Motorola

  9. Ad Hoc Subgroups • Some Possible Dispositions of Subgroup Output Documents (as amended if desired) • No action • Include in a TGs adopted “Recommended Reading List” • Adopt as an internal working paper • Adopt as mandatory for proposal conformance Donald Eastlake 3rd, Motorola

  10. Calling for Proposals in September? • If a call for proposals is to be issued shortly after the September meeting, we should issue a warning at this meeting that we plan to do that. • Proposals obviously must conform to the PAR and 5 Criteria. • Will we have a Functional Requirements or Evaluation Criteria Document? • What other documents, if any, should be referenced by the Call for Proposals? Donald Eastlake 3rd, Motorola

  11. Possibilities to Accelerate TGs • Possibilities for TGs Between July and September Meetings to accelerate action on, for example, a Functional Requirements document: • Nothing • One Teleconference • Ad-hoc face to face meeting (requires 30 days notice) • Multiple Teleconferences (requires 10 days notice) Donald Eastlake 3rd, Motorola
