March 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0390r0 March 2008 Member Affiliation It is defined in the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws, 5.2.1.5 as: “An individual is deemed “affiliated” with any individual or entity that has been, or will be, financially or materially supporting that individual’s participation in a particular IEEE standards activity. This includes, but is not limited to, his or her employer and any individual or entity that has or will have, either directly or indirectly, requested, paid for, or otherwise sponsored his or her participation. http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/affiliationFAQ.html Al Petrick, Jones-Petrick & Associates Al Petrick, Jones-Petrick & Associates
Declaration of Affiliation March 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0390r0 March 2008 Declaration of Affiliation Revision: May 2007 Standards Board Bylaw 5.2.1.1 5.2.1.1 Openness Openness is defined as the quality of being not restricted to a particular type or category of participants. All meetings involving standards development an all IEEE Sponsor ballots shall be open toa all interested parties. Each individual participant in IEEE Standards activities shall disclose his or her affiliations when requested. A person who knows or reasonably should know, that a participant’s disclosure is materially incomplete or incorrect should report that fact to the Secretary of the IEEE-SA Standards Board and the appropriate Sponsors. http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/affiliationFAQ.html Al Petrick, Jones-Petrick & Associates Al Petrick, Jones-Petrick & Associates
March 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0390r0 Affiliation Policy March 2008 Requirement to declare affiliation at all standards development meetings and recorded in the minutes Affiliation not necessarily same as employer Declaration requirement may be familiar to some 802 WGs, though WG declaration process may evolve 11. What if I refuse to disclose my affiliation? As outlined in IEEE-SA governance documents, you will lose certain rights. In a working group where voting rights are gained through attendance, no attendance credit will be granted if affiliation isn’t declared. Similarly, voting rights are to be removed if affiliation isn’t declared. Affiliation declaration will be added to Sponsor ballot http://standards.ieee.org/faqs/affiliationFAQ.html Al Petrick, Jones-Petrick & Associates Al Petrick, Jones-Petrick & Associates

Interpretation Request March 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0390r0 March 2008 Interpretation Request TPC (transmit power control) interpretation EIRP P802.11-2007 clause: 7.3.2.18 The TPC report element refers in many places to "transmit power" yet the transmit power value must be +-5 dB of an EIRP. Further, there is no single value for a STA's EIRP since EIRP varies by azimuth and elevation. Therefore it seems that where 7.3.2.18 says EIRP or transmit power, it really means maximum EIRP.
