November 2015 Problem Statement Working with regulators must be both strategic and tactical The strategic requires both working on the development of recommendations in ITU and providing regulators with technology roadmaps to guide them in the development of their proposed changes The tactical involves keeping track of pending regulatory changes and responding in a timely manner Regulators consider the SDOs to be the experts, and prefer guidance from them over that from industry associations Regulators want the industry to collaborate and achieve consensus, and bring a united view The current leadership, structure and man-hours invested by IEEE 802 are insufficient to do a proper job The most critical regulatory decisions are happening now; waiting or delay is no longer an option Rich Kennedy, MediaTek
