One document that has had a high level of interest to IEEE 802 was approved by the RR and TAGs as a further response to ITU-R Question 236/1, dealing with technologies and spectrum used in the management of Smart Grids. This document, , was submitted to the ITU-R and is now the core of the wireless response to Question 236/1. The attendance varies depending on the topics & documents being considered. While we plan for ~15 representing all 802 WGs the actual attendance can be considerably more. Final approval of documents is intended to be done Thursdays during AM1 and AM2.

Many of these items appear with short notice to the TAG and with very short response times. The RR-TAG agenda can be found on the RR-TAG’s Mentor web site; expect that as normal there will be many revisions prior to the start of the meeting. Please check it for items of interest that may not be listed in the Opening Report. IEEE is contribution driven so it is reasonable to expect that other matters may present themselves during the meeting here in San Diego. Don’t forget that for the most part you can maintain your voting rights in your home group when you participate in the RR-TAG (and, of course, log your attendance correctly!).
