TGn Minutes of Nov ’06 06/1713r0 January 2007 Executive Summary (also see Chairs’ meeting doc 11-06-1662r6 and closing report doc. 11-06-1811r1): The meeting was devoted to LB84 comment resolution. Out of a total of 22 hours 12 were devoted to ad hoc meetings and 10 hours were devoted to full body voting meetings. Coming into the meeting ~1863 unique technical comments out of 3077 had been resolved leaving 1214 to be resolved. 37 motions were passed directly related to the draft text and resolution of ~ 859 comments. This means ~88.5% of the unique technical comments have now been resolved. Confidence is high that the remaining ~350 comments can be resolved at the January Interim session. The goal is to go to Letter Ballot after the January meeting and resolve comments from that Letter Ballot at the March session. There will be an ad hoc meeting Wednesday Jan 10 thru Friday Jan 12 in London prior to the January Interim session There will be four ad hoc teleconference meetings on the following Wednesdays from 11:00 to 13:00 ET – Dec 6, 13, 20 and Jan 3 Joint meetings were held with .11k to synchronize amendments in process. Synchronizing text changes will be proposed by both groups at the January session. Similar synchronization meetings were proposed with .11r for the January session The most contentious issue was standardizing 40 MHz channel usage in the 2.4 GHz band. Two proposals were voted on and both failed to attain the 75% super-majority. The Time Line was considered and the consensus was to leave it unchanged - .11n will be published in April 2008. There was a motion to go to letter ballot pending at adjournment. Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
