14. OmniRAN after the approval of the P802.1CF PAR • The Executive Committee Study Group is disbanded by the NesCom approval of the PAR. • The OmniRAN group of people likes to avoid ‘hibernation’ between March 26 and the July 2014 IEEE 802 plenary and seeks to continue the work on the following topics: • Network Detection and Selection • Discussions with 802.1 Sec TG, 802.3, 802.11 and 802.15 • Point-to-point links across bridged infrastructures • P802.1AEcg: Ethernet Data Encryption devices (Mick Seaman) • Using PBB-TE (with and without MiM) w/ OpenFlow or SNMP for control (Paul Bottorff) • Scope of specification work on SDN in P802.1CF • How to enable continuation of the work in IEEE 802.1? • Can the chair of 802.1 establish the P802.1CF project and appoint an interim chair, when the PAR is approved? • Should we come up with some motion in the 802.1 closing plenary on Thursday?
