  2. 802.11 Maintenance Guidelines • Two parallel activities keep 802.11 up to date: • TGm -- Maintenance Task Group • Functional and technical amendments are output • Technical corrections and changes • Generally not editorial changes • Amendments only • PAR owned by TGm • WG Activity led by WG editor • Document publication status • Drive editions, revisions, and reaffirmations • Editorial changes (technical oversights on revisions also) • Not functional changes • Full documents only (not amendments) • Revision PAR (when needed) owned by WG Terry Cole, AMD

  3. Activities of WG Editor • Documents for publication: • IEEE publication status • Editions / Revisions/ Reaffirmations as periodically needed • ISO drafts as needed • Electronic attachments of 802.11 • Maintain Information (as WG documents): • List of potential editorial errata and proposed editorial changes • List of current editorial work in all TGs (help coordinate overlaps) • Coordinate balloting and publishing processes for: • Reaffirmations and revision (including PAR generation) • ISO approval process • Motions as needed in WG Terry Cole, AMD

  4. Publication Status • No new documents published since last time • No documents pending IEEE-SA publication • No documents currently in REVCOM queue for approval Terry Cole, AMD

  5. Draft Availability • Available as of 9/12 from IEEE web: • 802.11i D3.0 & D7.0 • As new drafts are created by motion, many TGs are releasing the documents to IEEE for publication and sale • This generates funds that ultimately support get802 program • TGs should discuss and make recommendation if the draft is appropriate for sale Terry Cole, AMD

  6. Edition Activities • Editions • No editions are planned at this time • Publication of amendments has higher priority than editions • Agreement between EXCEOM and IEEE-SA staff • 802.11g and 802.11h do not trigger a new roll-up edition • This is a business decision of IEEE-SA • Reaffirmations / Revisions • No revisions are planned at this time • Approval of 802.11e, 802.11k, 802.11i and 802.11m may be a good trigger point for a revision containing all approved amendments • Revision PAR request must be made well in advance • New SA rules recently passed regarding requirements for revision– impact must be understood by staff and will be reported in future Terry Cole, AMD

  7. Internationalization • ISO drafts • ISO version of 802.11-1999 (2003 edition) • 2003 Reaff roll-up has been submitted for ISO approval. • Next step is to receive comments or notification of approval. • Terry Cole and Stuart Kerry are project leaders. • Staff will create the ISO document after ISO approval • Because of international interest in 802.11i, we expect to submit 802.11g, 802.11h, and or 802.11i to ISO for approval at earliest possibility. Terry Cole, AMD

  8. Electronic Attachments • Interactive PICS • First Ever in IEEE! • Allows electronic input of PICS options and text • User can save, print, etc. Feedback welcomed. • SDL • Updated version for 802.11-1999 (2003 edition) available on 2003 IEEE 802.11 Value Pack CD • Does not compile -- no better or worse than original 802.11-1999 • 802.11g modifications will be done when needed for internal 802.11 WG use • MIB • Updated version for 802.11-1999 (2003 edition) available on 2003 CD • Does compile • 802.11g/h modifications have been done for internal 802 WG use Terry Cole, AMD
