Guidelines for IEEE-SA Meetings All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. Technical considerations remain primary focus Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/index.html See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

September 2012 doc.: IEEE 802.11-12/0996r3 Meeting Etiquette IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professional manner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. Individuals are to address the “technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter. The Copyright Act of 1976 made a dramatic change to U.S. copyright law. Copyright was now deemed to exist from the moment of creation. Thus anything that is created is deemed to be owned by its creator. Additionally, a work no longer needs to be published in order to be protected. Therefore, even your scribbles on a piece of note paper constitute copyrighted material that you own and control. The NII (National Information Infrastructure) and the GII (Global Information Infrastructure) are causing lawmakers and copyright owners to assess the ability of current copyright law to protect owners rights in a digital environment. While at this point the changes being talked about are not significant, they will make it clear that copyright protection is afforded to owners in the digital environment making it a requirement to honor the rights accorded to owners. It is a requirement under the IEEE Bylaws that copyright ownership of all material published by the IEEE resides with the IEEE. The Standards Department accomplishes the transfer of copyright ownership from the volunteer authors to the Institute via the Project Authorization Request (PAR) form. Stephen McCann, RIM

LMSC Operations Manual 4.3 Study groups 4.3.1 Study group operation Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at the closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary, and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are permitted. 4.3.2 Voting at study group meetings Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.”

Business #3 Reports Discussions with 802.1 Communication with IETF https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0063-00-0000-ieee-802-gaps-network-detection-selection.pptx https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0064-00-0000-ieee-802-gaps-point-to-point-links.pptx Fruitful discussions on Sep 3rd PM with 802.1 security group on both proposals Plan to create more detailed functional description on ptp links by use of MACsec Communication with IETF Still pending, planned for mid September Communication  with ONF Approved communication to ONF to introduce OmniRAN SDN use case to https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0060-00-ecsg-omniran-sdn-use-case-for-external-communication.pptx Word document and executive summary for formal submission created. OmniRAN SDN use case proposal had to be submitted by way of ONF member companies (NSN (ECSG chair), NEC) as no formal way seems to exist to contribute to ONF discussions out of IEEE SA activities Clarification necessary whether possibility exists, that OmniRAN can directly communicate into ONF discussion groups

Business #4 Content of ‘Stage 2’ document Legacy guidance Overview by ETSI: http://docbox.etsi.org/MTS/MTS/10-PromotionalMaterial/MBS-20111118/protocolStandards/stagedApproach.htm Staged approach for service network specification by ITU-T: http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-I.130-198811-I Specification, which was mainly referenced for Geneva presentations and discussions Detailed description of Stage 2 by ITU-T:http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-Q.65-200006-I/en Q.65 contains detailed description of pieces comprising a Stage 2 specification The structure of a Stage 2 ToC can directly be derived from this specification WiMAX NWG Stage 2 Example of Stage 2 specification build on generic requirements captured in tenets: http://resources.wimaxforum.org/sites/wimaxforum.org/files/technical_document/2010/12/WMF-T32-001-R016v01_Network-Stage2-Base.pdf ‘SHALLs’ as stated in the Tenets section of WMF NWG Stage 2 are not appropriate for an IEEE SA Recommended Practice. No single SHALL shall appear in a Recommended Practice

‘Stage 2’ Definition by ITU-T Q.65 The Stage 2 defines a functional model using functional entities, the functional entity actions needed, information flow or API calls between functional entities recommendations for the allocation of functional entities to physical locations for a few examples. The Stage 2 provides a single functional specification which can be applied in a number of different physical realizations, a precise definition of functional capabilities and their possible distribution in the network to support the required network capabilities, a detailed description of what functions, information flows and API calls will be provided, but not how they are to be implemented, requirements for protocol capabilities as input to Stage 3 of the method. The output of Stage 2 is used by protocol designers to specify the protocols between physical entities, node designers to specify the functional requirements of the nodes, network planners.
