doc.: IEEE /0355r0 Submission Mar 2010 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 13 In Hawaii in Sept 09 the JTC1 ad hoc reaffirmed its general goals Agreed goals Provides a forum for members to discuss issues relevant to both: –IEEE 802 –ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 Recommends positions to ExCom on ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 actions affecting IEEE (and IEEE 802) –Note that 802 LMSC holds the liaison to SC6, not WG Participates in dialog with IEEE staff and 802 ExCom on issues concerning IEEE’s relationship with ISO/IEC Organises IEEE members to contribute to liaisons and other documents relevant to the ISO/IEC JTC1 members …

doc.: IEEE /0355r0 Submission Mar 2010 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 14 The WG has agreed with SC6 to liaise Sponsor Ballot drafts to SC as a matter of course The WG proposed that it liaise every Sponsor Ballot draft to SC6 for review and comment as a matter of course SC6 indicated this was desirable in a liaison –… SC6 would welcome the opportunity to receive as a matter of course new draft text at the start of every Sponsor Ballot or Sponsor Ballot recirculation of developing IEEE work for circulation to its National Bodies. By this means SC6 National Bodies will have the opportunity to provide review and comment through liaison back to IEEE –See liaison from SC6 If any comments are received it is likely the Chair of the relevant TG will insert them into MyBallot suitably annotated, e.g., “Submitted on behalf of ISO JTC1 from ”

doc.: IEEE /0355r0 Submission Mar 2010 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 15 The WG has liaised four Sponsor Ballot drafts to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 since Jan 2010 In recent times a number of drafts have been sent to SC6 –802.11v D9.0 on 4 Feb –802.11u D8.0 on 22 Feb –802.11p D10.0 on 21 Feb –802.11z D7.0 on 21 Feb The drafts were announced to the SC6 membership on 25 Feb, which highlights an issue between differences between typical IEEE and ISO timescales No comments have (yet) been received
