Overview • This document reports on the regulatory matters considered and outputs from the July, 2013 meeting. • Specific documents/actions were approved by the RR-TAG in response to the regulatory proceedings reviewed and inputs from various WGs. • The RR-TAG is input driven. The attendance varies depending on the topics & documents being considered. At this particular meeting we approved four documents, one of which is in support of an FCC filing by IEEE USA. • As was begun severalmeetings earlier final approval of documents is normallyheld on Thursdays during AM1 and AM2. Some find that we still need the afternoon sessions to complete our work in a more thorough manner. To do so requires prior permission of the EC chair. • As is normal the meeting approved the 802.18 chair convening conference calls to deal with regulatory matters that come up between Plenary sessions.

Items to be considered in November • The RR-TAG will have to review the status of Document 18-13/0090r01 supporting IEEE USA’s position regarding the use of spectrum above 95 GHz. • As of the close of the July meeting there was no “RM” (Rule Making) number assigned to the IEEE USA contribution. • It may be that IEEE 802, through the newly enacted “sole voice” concept, may have to make a contribution not linked to the IEEE USA contribution. • Therefore it was felt, and the EC chair agreed, that he needed to be present at any meeting considering the status of Document 18-13/0090r1.. • 802.18 is contribution driven and it is fair to expect that other matters will present themselves by the time of the November meeting in Dallas.
