January 19 Problems with 802.11 Std Developments: The recent 802.11 amendments are in an even worse state than the 802.11-1999 rev 2003 base standard (247r0) The amendments are poorly written and reviewed Amendments are subject to same issues as the base standard It is very difficult to write or review a “delta”, particularly in parallel with other “deltas” despite the best efforts of the amendment editors and many WG members The amendments are based on even more convoluted structures The base standard’s structure was not designed with 11e/g/h/i/j/k/n/… in mind The TG’s often make decisions not to touch parts of the base standard because it would “open too many cans of worms”, eg e.g. TGh and TGj have avoided many changes to Clause 17 e.g.TGk is using 11h in a non-extensible manner, but it is the easy path J.

January 19 Motion Passed Move that the WNG SC recomments that the IEEE 802.11 WG asks ExecCome to form a SG to create a PAR and 5 criteria to from a new task group that will describe the AP functions and behaviors in an informative way J. Karaoguz, Broadcom Corp.
