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 #2 Approval of agenda Approval of minutes Reports approved without objections Approval of minutes minutes uploaded approval postponed to next session due to late availability Reports no formal response received yet from 3GPP Antonio reported about ongoing activities on SDN working on more comprehensive contribution for next session more information desired on the P1903.1 project as it seems to have close relation with SDN

Business #3 Contributions on OmniRAN use cases no new contributions available Draft use cases document no new input for this session Call for comments on use cases document no comments received so far Classification of functional requirements https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0032-00-0000-ieee-802-scope-of-omniran.pptx contribution considered helpful to structure results of OmniRAN for acceptance by IEEE 802 and communication with other SDOs Revision of figure on slide 16 requested to more clearly distinguish R1 from the other reference points and to be more specific that R3 control does not address physical layer parameters on the wired backhaul Conclusion on slide 19 should also mention the creation of an informative document specifying the overall OmniRAN architecture revised slides uploaded after call under https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0032-01-0000-ieee-802-scope-of-omniran.pptx Review of project plan and timeline

Business #4 Task of OmniRAN EC SG To perform a gap analysis that shows what pieces of work that are relevant to 802 (standards and standards under development) are not covered by existing external SDOs  (IETF, 3GPP,...) and internal, and socialize that analysis with those SDOs; Having performed that gap analysis, define a crisp scope of the ECSG (target 15 words or less); Define what piece(s) of work within that scope (a) fall legitimately within 802's remit and (b) are achievable within an 802 activity.

Conf Call F2F meeting Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul

Business #6 Plan and Timeline (EC SG Motion) Mar’21 Apr’11 May’2 Jul’15 Initial meeting Use cases contributions Draft Use cases document Call for comments on Use cases document Use cases document finalization Classification of functional requirements Functional requirements within scope of IEEE 802 Gap analysis to existing solutions Socializing of gap analysis Potential standardization topics for IEEE 802 Refine scope of EC SG (crisp words) ? Conf Call F2F meeting Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul

Business#7 Review of project plan and timeline Slightly revised project plan and timeline accepted without objections Defining crisp wording for scope will be addressed in the Jul ‘13 session when other results are available Agenda for May ‘13 Waikoloa session https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0030-00-ecsg-may-2013-waikoloa-agenda.pptx agenda agreed with slight modifications in the agenda proposal revision uploaded as https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/13/omniran-13-0030-01-ecsg-may-2013-waikoloa-agenda.pptx AOB nothing brought up Adjurn adjurned at 10:38 AM ET
