doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 1 Keep 802 Together Proposal Date: March 15, 2003 Point of Contact: Matthew Sherman 2 nd Vice Chair, IEEE 802 BAE Systems - CINR Contributors: Bob Grow, Matthew Sherman, Bill Quakenbush, Roger Marks
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 2 Goals Define reorganization within existing 802 Address concerns expressed at Nov. 03 meeting
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 3 Approach Develop resolutions to major concerns raised Evolve strawman reorg proposal based on resolutions Present strawman to EC in March 04 Address additional concerns expressed Refine proposal Solicit inputs from CS and SA Bring to vote in July 04
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 4 New Organization Highlights Preserves 802 as market facing and oversight entity –802 Architecture preserved Greater independence to WG Changes purely through P&P –Limit content to key topics Center on Pars req, Sponsor ballot req, EC ballots, tutorials Rely on Higher P&P and WG P&P for all else –May need / want to move to SCC
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 5 Concerns and Suggested Resolutions
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 6 Concern: Logistics problems associated with size Resolution: Allow separate WG Plenary 802 hosted plenary 3 times per year if desired For WG who dont want treasury One full Plenary per year Encourage cross-polinization between groups Have every 2 years if every year too much Short electronic EC after each plenary Allows quick action by EC on issues Telecom augmented with web conferencing
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 7 Concern: Current P&P are broken Resolution: Rework around Model P&P Minimize content with ref to other docs Incorporate mods based on this doc Move to SCC format if needed
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 8 Concern: Maintaining architectural consistency across MACs wrt future organization Resolution: 802 still approves all PARs and Sponsor Ballots All other issues determined by WG
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 9 Concern: Increased friction between WGs Resolution: Reduce interactions to PARs Sponsor Ballots New activity tutorial If conflict with 802 tutorials WG allocates WG time Electronic pres in non-802 Plenary 12 votes so limited impact of any one group Hard to block unless serious problem All other issues left to WG
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 10 Concern: Continually at odds over operational style and procedures Resolution: See section on increased friction
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 11 Concern: Difficulty of coordinating technical work across a group of this size Resolution: Dont know how to do better than curret org
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 12 Concern: Need to devolve power from EC to WGs Resolution: See slide on increased friction
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 13 Concern: Operational efficiency of WGs Resolution: Up to WG to set their own pace Must comply with SA requirements, etc.
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 14 Concern: Large groups need faster response time, more dynamic environment, without losing quality Resolution: See slide on increased friction
doc.: IEEE /XXXr0 Submission March, 2004 Matthew Sherman, BAE SystemsSlide 15 Detailed Reorganization Proposal To be added if fundamental approach approved by 2/3s of EC Fully handled via P&P Changes Move to SCC format if needed
