The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the TAG of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE TAG.

doc.: IEEE /1197r0 Submission Sept 2005 Tom Siep, Cambridge Silicon RadioSlide 3 Status, Purpose, and Process Sub-Group is now part of a EC Standing Committee –Not an Ad Hoc –Not a part of –Not constrained to “fireside chats” Purpose –A forum for discussion of areas of mutual interest, to identify areas where further work is needed, and recommend/ encourage volunteers to a venue for further work Process –Fish for new areas of discussion discuss consensus of importance to 802 [wireless] –When a threshold is met, arrange specific meeting of cross-WG reps to decide on next steps e.g. Request formation of an Executive Committee study group form multiple WG TGs w/ liaisons... Considering new names: –802 Wireless Technology Cooperative –802 Wireless Technology Forum –802 Coordination of Wireless Technologies
