January 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 March 2008 Motion Motion: Believing that all the conditions for a recirculation of P802.11w have been satisfied, to renumber D5.1 to D6.0 and to request the 802.11 Working Group authorize a 15-day Working Group Recirculation Ballot on P802.11w D6.0 Mover: Kapil Sood Seconder: Clint Chaplin Result: 6-0-1 Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation Dorothy Stanley, Agere Systems

March 2008 Motion Motion: Move to request conditional approval to send P802.11w to sponsor ballot upon conclusion of a working group recirculation ballot that meets all requirements in the LMSC Policies and Procedures Mover: Clint Chaplin Seconder: Dorothy Stanley Result: 8-0-2 Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation

March 2008 IEEE-SA Operations Manual – 5.4.3.2 Resolution of comments, objections, and negative votes During a recirculation ballot, balloting group members shall have an opportunity to change their previously cast ballots. A change to "do not approve," which is submitted with comments, shall be based only on the changed portions of the balloted document, clauses affected by the changes, or portions of the balloted document that are the subject of the unresolved negative votes. … Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation

3 Comment Resolutions from 11-08/0261 March 2008 3 Comment Resolutions from 11-08/0261 LB 121 CID: 24 Clause: Annex A Comment: PICS item PC 34.1.10 is referenced in a predicate for other items, but it is not marked with asterisk. Proposed Resolution: Replace “PC 34.1.10” with “* PC 34.1.10” in the Item column. Resolution Status: Reject Resolution Detail: The comment is not on text modified since LB117, the commenter is encouraged to resubmit this comment during sponsor ballot. LB 121 CID: 27 Comment: PICS entry for management frame protection uses RSN IE support (not RSNA!) in the predicate.. That doesn't sound correct. Shouldn't this refer to RSNA? Proposed Resolution: Replace “PC34.1:O” with “PC34:O”. LB 121 CID 31 Clause: 7.2.3.11 Comment: Odd Table reference Proposed Resolution: Replace “Table 7-18--” with “Table 7-18”.

TG Motion to Progress IEEE P802.11w to Sponsor Ballot is Out of Order March 2008 TG Motion to Progress IEEE P802.11w to Sponsor Ballot is Out of Order Clause 5.4.3.2 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operating manual requires the TG chair to rule the resolutions for LB 121 CIDs 24, 27, and 31 as out of order Because D5.0 Clause 7.2.3.11 and Annex A both include changes made from D4.0 It is out of order for the TGw chair to request the WG to progress P802.11w to Sponsor Ballot until these faulty resolutions are corrected This ruling verified by consultation with WG VC Al Petrick Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation

January 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 March 2008 Motion Motion: Move to accept comments with CID 24, 27, and 31 from LB 121 and instruct the IEEE 802.11w editor to incorporate these comment resolutions into D5.1 Moved: Bill Marshall Second: Jesse Walker For: Against: Abstain: Jesse Walker, Intel Corporation Dorothy Stanley, Agere Systems
