doc.: IEEE /0356r0 Submission March 2016 Slide 16 Policies and Procedures - Intro The operation of the working group (WG11) is governed by a number of documents (next slide). Matters of procedure in (where not described by one of the higher documents in the hierarchy) are decided by the WG11 chair. These WG11 procedures are described in the WG11 operations manual.WG11 operations manual If you are new to standards development or new to WG11, do not despair! Day to day rules can be learned by observing and participating in the WG. If you are unsure about the operation of some procedure in WG11, speak to one of the WG officers or the officers of its subgroups. Adrian Stephens, Intel : Stephen McCann, Blackberry

Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]: –“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents –“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents) The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged No duty to perform a patent search

doc.: IEEE /0356r0 Submission March 2016 Adrian Stephens, Intel : Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 31 Recording Attendance It is a requirement that attendees register, in order that a correct record of attendees and their disclosed affiliations can be recorded in the minutes. You must record 75% attendance of eligible slots in a session for that session to count towards gaining or maintaining voting membership You need a single IEEE-SA web account –The IEEE-SA web account requires a working address –do not remove your address from the account Use the address associated with that web account when registering attendance –If you change addresses, update the web account, don’t create a new web account, or your membership status may not be calculated properly

doc.: IEEE /0356r0 Submission March 2016 Adrian Stephens, Intel : Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 32 Attendance Procedures Prior to or during the session: –(one time) Get a free Web Account if you don’t already have one. Keep your contact data in this area up to date. –(one time) Register your Interest Areas in myProject if you haven’t done so already (it’s up to you to keep this updated as needed) During the session: –(once per session) Register on IMAT –(once per slot) Record attendance at a specific meeting. You will be asked for your affiliation the first time you attend a new task group. See following slides for detailed procedure

doc.: IEEE /0356r0 Submission March 2016 Adrian Stephens, Intel : Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 33 Changing Affiliation The IMAT attendance system keeps a record of stated affiliation per group (task group / working group). The membership records are updated using this information after every session. If you change affiliation, you need to go to “MyProject” under “Manage Activities” and check/update all groups that you have attended in the past or declared an interest in so that they have the correct affiliation. Notifying the officers of a change is not sufficient, as any local changes to the membership records will get overwritten with data from MyProject after every session.

This will keep traffic at a lower level on the external links. New document numbers are obtained from the mentor web site Need to register on mentor to request a login New requests handled after the session and 75% attendance in that session is required to gain write access. If you need write access during your first session, ask a colleague to upload on your behalf.

doc.: IEEE /0356r0 Submission March 2016 Adrian Stephens, Intel : Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 48 Reflector Requests There is an reflector for the working group, plus one for each task group. Access to the reflector is limited to participants with status: aspirant, nearly-voter, potential-voter, voter. To change your access, visit the reflector request page: –Gathers information and sends an to 2 nd Vice Chair If you change address – please let the 2 nd vice chair know. He will perform a global change to the list servers. 2 nd vice chair:

doc.: IEEE /0356r0 Submission March 2016 Adrian Stephens, Intel : Stephen McCann, BlackberrySlide 49 Reflector Caveats The LISTSERV system removes an entry from a reflector list if it gets repeated bounces. The WG officers monitor these events and try and fix what they can. If you receive no from STDS for a couple of weeks, suspect that something is wrong and contact one of the WG officers.
