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 802.11. Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures <http:// ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, 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 the Working Group 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 <stuart.kerry@philips.com> 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 802.11 Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at <patcom@ieee.org>. TK Tan, Philips TK Tan, Philips

doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0803r0 July 2005 July 2005 IEEE 802.1AM PAR Straw Poll 1 Recommendation from IEEE 802.11 WNG SC to IEEE 802.11 WG that the IEEE 802.1AM PAR approval is postponed. It would like to see a study group created within IEEE 802.1, with the intention of revising this PAR to address the RF management issue, ensuring that stakeholders within the wireless groups are invited. Such meetings should be collocated with the IEEE 802 wireless interims. IEEE 802.11 should therefore invite IEEE 802.1 to participate in their interims. Straw poll result : 23, 4, 2 TK Tan, Philips TK Tan, Philips
