Sept 2011 Status of 802.11s A pre-publication version of 802.11s was received from the IEEE-SA editors in order to allow balloting of .11s in this recirculation. IEEE Std 802.11s-2011 was approved by the IEEE-SA standards board and published the same day on 10 Sept. There are some minor editorial tweaks made between the pre-publication version and the published version. These will be propagated into D11. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

There is a meeting slot (monday pm2) set aside to review this process and determine support or otherwise for it TGaa, TGae and TGad have been through the 11MC process and their MIBs have been modifies to comply – i.e. they compile and introduce no new compliance issues.

Status of MIB MIB compiles, but many conformance errors Sept 2011 Status of MIB MIB compiles, but many conformance errors Please see 11-11-0544-00-000m-fixing-the-mib Please also be aware that the 802.11 MEC process proposal (see 11-11-0615-00-0000-WG802.11 MEC process) assumes we will continue to maintain the MIB, and attempts to avoid some of the errors of the past and will require the MIB to compile prior to sponsor ballot. Telecon on 6 May 2011 shows that there is inadequate support for either deleting the MIB, partitioning it, or addressing compliance issues. So the status quo will be preserved, with a warning. Add the following to the DESCRIPTION at 1842.37 (D8.0): “Note that not all objects within this MIB are referenced by a group, and not all groups are referenced by a MODULE-COMPLIANCE statement. Some existing groups and the dot11Compliance MODULE-COMPLIANCE have been modified since the previous revision of this standard. Implementations should not claim compliance to dot11Compliance.” Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Sept 2011 802.11u Roll-in Status Our current Plan of Record shows rolling in 802.11u in March. However, .11v roll-in went quicker than expected, and IEEE-SA publication editing for .11u completed earlier than expected D7.03 contains .11u. D7.03 is currently in review by volunteers from former TGu. There are a number of Editor’s Notes highlighting issues that need to be addressed. Editorial Defects will be resolved in a revision prior to D8.0 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Planning As indicated earlier, 802.11v and 802.11u will be in D8. Sept 2011 Planning As indicated earlier, 802.11v and 802.11u will be in D8. Experience from .11v suggests 2 weeks roll-in duration (not including review) is reasonable for.11s. An adjusted plan of record has been produced taking this into account – see later Shows completing comment resolution In Oct Dependent on .11s being available for editing at the start of June Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Sept 2011 Planning – D8.0 release The plan discussed on the last telecon (and reproduced in the next slide) shows a 2-week period of editing & review before D8.0 is ready to ballot. There’s a lot of new material in D8.0, and I think we need to allow as much time as possible for ballot and comment resolution prep before the next meeting. I propose to try and accelerate the availability of D8.0 to Thursday 24th March. Mon & Tue – Edit Wed – Review Thu – Final edits, Chair requests IEEE-SA to open ballot Fri – Ballot opens So I need volunteers who will commit to deliver an on-time review over a period of 24 hours Wed next week. I’m anticipating 2 hours work per reviewer. Please volunteer now & Jon please record and send list to Adrian. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Editorial comment resolutions Sept 2011 Editorial comment resolutions Comment resolutions are proposed in document 11-10/1455r5. Count   Resn Status Owning Ad-hoc Comment Group (blank) A P D U S Grand Total EDITOR Editorials 22 14 2 1 41 Terminology 4 EDITOR Total 24 45 The Editor requests TGmb to review CID 11211, which has related comments: 11213 (Gen) and 11215 (MAC). Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Sept 2011 CID 11211 Comment: In SB1 it was pointed out that parameter names before this point (6.3.2.2.2) are lower case, while after this are in initial caps. The CRC response was that changing was too much work without benefit. However, this standard depends heavily on capitalization: "priority" is the name of the concept, while "Priority" is the name of a field. So inconsistency in capitalization provides a serious detriment to the utility of this standard. Proposed Change: If no one else has time to work on this, it appears that I will not have a job after March 31, so I will have the time to buy a copy of FrameMaker, learn how to use it, and make the changes sometime in April. P.S., the implementer of this standard doesn't care about how hard it is to integrate amendments that had been erroneously approved by the WG. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Sept 2011 CID 11211 (discussion) I see some benefit in doing what the commenter requests, but I also see costs. The proposed changes open up the standard to further comments on changed text, because names of many items in clause 6 (in this comment) and clause 8 (in other comments) would change. The proposed “let me edit the document” resolution provides discretion above and beyond that exercised thus far by your technical editor. The practicalities of making this work (i.e., new person editing, not particularly familiar with WG802.11 style, scheduling/planning) have not been determined and introduce schedule risk. If this group disagrees with my resolution (next slide), I would suggest the best practical alternative is to request the commenter to provide a “mapping table” of old to new names that the editor would action. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Sept 2011 CID 11211 (resolution) Proposed Resolution: DISAGREE (EDITOR: 2011-02-22 10:39:51Z) - There is no particular rule observable in the draft about whether these parameters should be lower case, InitialCaps, UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES, or something else. The IEEE-SA has no such rule, and the material cited has been through multiple rounds of IEEE-SA professional editing, from which we may determine that they do not regard such consistency to be necessary. While it is the commenter's preference to strive for consistency, the material cited is not incorrect and transgresses no IEEE-SA rule of style.

Sept 2011 802.11u Roll-in Status Our current Plan of Record shows rolling in 802.11u in March. However, .11v roll-in went quicker than expected, and IEEE-SA publication editing for .11u completed earlier than expected Work on the 802.11u roll-in has just started D7.03 will contain .11v – expected during March 802.11 session. Editorial Defects will be resolved in a revision prior to D8.0 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Planning As indicated earlier, 802.11v and 802.11u will be in D8. Sept 2011 Planning As indicated earlier, 802.11v and 802.11u will be in D8. Experience from .11v suggests 2 weeks roll-in duration (not including review) is reasonable for .11u and .11s. An adjusted plan of record has been produced taking this into account – see next page for detail.

However one review proposed an alternate resolution shown in the Ad-hoc Notes. CID 10451. A resolution is proposed that declines to make any editorial fix-ups in Annex H (SDL). However, TGmb should decide whether “is not maintained” at the top of Annex H applies to editorial as well as technical changes. The editor sees no benefit in performing editorial maintenance but not technical maintenance, and feels disinclined to spend any effort on an Annex that, it has been rumoured, has no practical use. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Approved Resolutions needing attention Sept 2011 Approved Resolutions needing attention Editor requests that the resolution of CID 10112 is reviewed. Comment: 3.1 says that "A bufferable management frame is a unicast management frame of the following subtypes: Action, Disassociation, Deauthentication, or Probe Response (when sent in an IBSS in response to a unicast probe request)".However, this statement in a subsection of section 10.2.1 Power management in an infrastructure network so the IBSS caveat is outside its scope. The IBSS stuff is described in section 10.2.2 Power management in an IBSS. Resolution: Change to read ".. , or a Probe Response frame that is sent in an IBSS in response to a unicast Probe Request frame." Editor’s Notes: I am unclear whether the resolution intended also to delete "; or a group addressed management frame of the following subtypes: Action, Disassociation, or Deauthentication" by showing a period at the end of the replacement text. (Also, FWIW, note that one reviewer claims the resolution is non-responsive, and, FWIW2, I agree.) Please confirm whether the change edited in D6.05 is correct or not.

Planning TGv and TGu approval will not take place until Feb 2011. Sept 2011 Planning TGv and TGu approval will not take place until Feb 2011. I have spoken with IEEE-SA editorial staff and they will try to bring TGv publication editing forward. We are hoping to see a first version of the copyedits shortly. Need to start editing TGv at start of Feb. This enables us to keep publication of REVmb in 2011. The other variable is whether TGs should be included in REVmb or not – see next slide. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Planning – Impact of TGs Sept 2011 Planning – Impact of TGs Estimate 4 weeks of roll-in effort. Estimate 4 weeks of additional comment resolution. Separate recirc: + 20 days ballot + 2 weeks editing/review TGs plan indicates EC approval in July and Standards Board approval in Sept It would create a new precedent if the professionally edited sources were available before SB approval. No New Recirc 1 extra recirc Delay to REVmb plan ~ 2 months ~ 3.5 months Latest date TGs sources must be available Early June 2011 Early Aug 2011 Notes No TGmb during July because letter ballot active then Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

Planning – Impact of TGs Sept 2011 Planning – Impact of TGs Based on the previous analysis, we should anticipate an extra recirc: TGs is unlikely to be ready to incorporate by early July TGmb is unlikely to want to “wash” the July session Any additional delay in availability of the sources of TGs to the editor beyond early Aug introduces a day/day slip.

Sept 2011 MEC Draft 5.0 was reviewed by IEEE-SA editorial staff as a mandatory editorial coordination (MEC) See document 11-10/1070r0 for full text of their report The outcome is that we have to change the draft’s scope and purpose statements to match those of the P802.11 PAR before starting sponsor ballot.

Sept 2011 Rolling in 802.11p I rolled in 802.11p into D5.0, resulting in a D5.01 (unpublished). This was reviewed by the editorial panel, and was in a fit state to post. However, it was not posted because of the ongoing MEC. The changes for MEC and the changes for .11p will need to be merged to produce a D6.01. There is no time urgency on posting this document, and it should not be posted before the end of initial sponsor ballot to avoid confusing the voters. The merge should be an easy matter because changes for the MEC were confined to clause 1. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation

May 2006 doc.: IEEE 802.11-06/0528r0 Sept 2011 Process for D3.01 D3.01 speculative editing of 19 editorial comments from LB162 One of these comments (CID 3084) was subsequently transferred to GEN as it actually resolves some technical ambiguities in D3.0. However these speculative edits are present in D3.01, tagged with this CID. One of the 20 editorial comments (CID 3124) was not resolved, and was transferred to MAC. Having made this transfer, I have prepared a resolution to this comment in one of my submissions. D3.01 is currently pending review by Bill, Peter and Mark.
