M2.3.1 Summary of Liaisons and Status January 2015 M2.3.1 Summary of Liaisons and Status New An additional Liaison is being received from NGMN (waiting for copyright permission). Ongoing Liaison from the NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Networks) Document 11-14/1366r0 Jeorge Huartertes has agreed to own this topic Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
M2.3.1 NGMN Liaison (continued) January 2015 M2.3.1 NGMN Liaison (continued) Jeorge Hurtarte writes: NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance) liaison letter was received on September 2, 2014. The IEEE 802.11 has not yet sent a response to this liaison. Subsequent to the San Antonio November 2014 plenary, IEEE 802.11 member Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne, discussed the NGMN liaison letter with Laurent Cariou's (Orange) for advice, and subsequently talked to Klaus Moschner (NGMN Senior Programme Manager). Based on these discussions and on the description of the NGMN 5G white paper intent , we find the NGMN's liaison letter relevant to the IEEE 802.11 initiatives as there is the potential to influence how operators think about the coexistence issues in 5 GHz through this forum. Thus we are recommending to immediately draft a response to the NGMN during this Atlanta session as part of the REG WG meetings. In such response, we should also indicate that the IEEE 802.11 will review and comment on their 5G white paper. We will be thus seeking volunteers to review such a white paper and provide comments.

W5.2 - How should 802.11 respond to "Interpretation Requests" January 2015 W5.2 - How should 802.11 respond to "Interpretation Requests" The chair receives occasional “interpretation requests” from non-members: Why does it work like this? Shouldn’t it work like this? What does this mean? There is no formal IEEE-SA process for responding to such requests Recently, the chair posted a request to the 802.11 reflector inviting any member to respond privately, and one chose to respond. Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
January 2015 W5.2 – Straw Poll How do the members think “questions about the standard from non-members” should be handled? Same as current (question to the reflector) 41 More proactively seek a volunteer to consider? 6 Politely decline to make any response or take any action? 6 Other? 2 Adrian Stephens, Intel Corporation
