November 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1526r0 November 2016 Abstract This document contains a summary of the WNG results on proposed TIG formation for Light Communications and a WG motion in support of TIG formation Nikola Serafimovski, pureLiFi Ltd. Nikola Serafimovski, pureLiFi Ltd.

Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 The 802.11 WNG straw poll indicates an interest in 802.11 for creating a Topic Interest Group to consider the standardization of light communciations The 802.11 WNG group discussed “LiFi – light communications for 802.11” (doc. 802.11-16/1499r0) during the AM1 session on Tuesday, 8 Nov. The straw poll results: “Would you support the formation of a Topic Interest Group (TIG) for LiFi to clarify further technical aspects of the proposal? Yes: 76 No: 4 Abstain: 24” Nikola Serafimovski, pureLiFi John Doe, Some Company

Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 It is proposed that a TIG be formed to consider light communications, standardization in 802.11 WG MOTION: Form a Topic Interest Group (TIG) for light communications in 802.11, to clarify technical aspects of the proposal Mover: a Seconder: b Yes: No: Abstain: Nikola Serafimovski, pureLiFi John Doe, Some Company

Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 802.11 TIG operation A “topic interest group” (TIG) is a standing committee of the 802.11 working group that is formed to progress a specific topic. A TIG might be used prior to a formal study group to raise awareness and understanding of a potential study group. A TIG follows all the rules for a WG11 standing committee. A TIG is formed by WG motion and dissolved as determined by the WG chair. A TIG group is formed after discussion during a WG plenary during which the goals of the TIG are identified, and a motion to form the TIG achieves a simple majority. Typically a TIG will exist for no more than 6 months. Nikola Serafimovski, pureLiFi John Doe, Some Company
