Edits Add ITU, specifically ITU-Smart Add ETSI 2018/7/29 Edits Add ITU, specifically ITU-Smart Add ETSI Respond to RFIs (e.g., UK and Australia) Coordination with 802 Architecture Focus on lower layers of Smart Grid NIST may not be a friend of 802.

2018/7/29 802 Smart Grid Activity Will be formed as Executive Committee Study Group Depending on how PAR is developed: Option 1: Form Technical Advisory Group (TAG) Option 2: Form Working Group (WG)

2018/7/29 Objectives Create “Guidelines” for use of 802 standards for Smart Grid applications Exact type of document to be determined by Study Group In the context of other Smart Grid Standardization organizations and activities NIST, IEC, IEEE PES, ITU, ETSI, ITU- Smart, etc evaluate any “gaps” that could be appropriate work items for IEEE 802

Objectives (continued) 2018/7/29 Objectives (continued) Liaison between IEEE 802 and other groups involved in Smart Grid communications and standards (NIST, OpenSG, IEEE PES, ITU- Smart, etc) Serve as a resource and coordination point for Smart Grid specific spectrum issues (IEEE 802.18, UTC, etc) Develop “PR” presentation highlighting IEEE 802 activities related to Smart Grid for use at Smart Grid events and conferences

Additional notes ITU-R question only? 2018/7/29 Additional notes ITU-R question only? Already being used (68%) are based on 802 derived technologies Should make sure that we find out about the current deployments to show that we are there. IEEE wide activity at SA level Focus within 802, bring in information from others Improve coordination within IEEE

2018/7/29 Straw polls Who would support the formation of an Executive Committee Smart Grid Study Group: Yes: 28 No: 0 Would you support the first meeting of the ECSG to be at the May 2012 Wireless Interim meeting in Atlanta. May 14-18, Atlanta (Wireless Interim): 25 July 15-20, San Diego (802 Plenary): 2

Next steps Ask EC on Friday closing plenary to become and ECSG. 2018/7/29 Next steps Ask EC on Friday closing plenary to become and ECSG. Add schedule to proposal. First meeting in May, next in July. Encourage parallel meetings for groups not in the Wireless

Next steps Continue with calls 2018/7/29 Next steps Continue with calls Continue to monitor and deliver the following objectives Contributions to NIST PAP2 (simulation parameters and review of text content for wireless guideline 2) Refer to 11-12-0396 for list.
