It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE DYSPAN-SC. Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE Patent Policy and Procedures including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to IEEE DYSPAN-SC and its Working Groups of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE DYSPAN-SC. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at <patcom@ieee.org>.

Progress in Meeting 1900.1 received a number of comments in its sponsor ballot process which are related to normative parts of terms/definitions of the other 1900.X WGs 1900.1 can’t make changes in response to such comments so had to reject the comments for procedural reasons Must be consistent with the terms and definitions of the other 1900.X WGs Cannot change the other WGs terms/definitions on their behalf In this meeting, 1900.1 has reviewed all of these comments and has developed an Excel sheet with suggested recommendations to be sent to the affected 1900.X WGs’ Chairs: 1900.4, 1900.5, and 1900.6 Proposes IEEE DySPAN-SC to establish suitable procedures for such updates forwarded by 1900.1 to other WGs to be considered during their respective amendment/revision processes. This should be done at the DySPAN-SC level, not by 1900.1

Progress in Meeting Has reviewed the PAR and (more quickly so) the 5C for the 1900.1-2008 revision Has maintained agreement on the topics that are considered in the PAR Discussed duration of the project, and agreed that default duration assumption (4 years) remains appropriate Has approved the PAR for submission to DySPAN-SC for consideration of submission to NESCOM Needs to submit by 24 January to meet the NESCOM deadline for inclusion in their March meeting, hence submission to NESCOM must be approved by DySPAN-SC during this meeting
