doc.: 18-13/0093r1 Submission July, 2013 Michael Lynch, MJ Lynch & Associates LLCSlide 2 Overview This document reports on the regulatory matters considered and outputs from the July, 2013 meeting. Specific documents/actions were approved by the RR-TAG in response to the regulatory proceedings reviewed and inputs from various WGs. The RR-TAG is input driven. The attendance varies depending on the topics & documents being considered. At this particular meeting we approved four documents, one of which is in support of an FCC filing by IEEE USA. As was begun several meetings earlier final approval of documents is normally held on Thursdays during AM1 and AM2. Some find that we still need the afternoon sessions to complete our work in a more thorough manner. To do so requires prior permission of the EC chair. As is normal the meeting approved the chair convening conference calls to deal with regulatory matters that come up between Plenary sessions.
