doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The China NB contributed a variation on the “usual comment” on IEEE China NB comment on China NB thanks for IEEE’s contribution of IEEE (in SC6 N15925). As always, China encourages and supports standard collaboration between IEEE and ISO. However, based on the following reasons, China NB cannot support this proposal. This standard is to be implemented with IEEE 802.1X which has also been proposed to ISO for FDIS consideration under the PSDO agreement and has been published. China NB has expressed objection to its submission and provided detailed comments as in SC6N14747 、 SC6N15083 and SC6N IEEE had acknowledged the receiving of China NB’s comments but has not made any satisfactory attempt to change China’s negative vote. Since China’s objection to the base/associated standards still stands, we cannot support other standards that rely on previous standard on security. For previous China NB comment, please refer to SC6N Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 38
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The China NB contributed a variation on the “usual comment” on IEEE China NB comment on In addition, China NB also has concerns that the ongoing FDIS processes are reducing the quality and reputation of ISO/IEC standards. We will bring our concerns to the attention of ISO/IEC central offices. Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 39
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The SC agreed in May 2014 on a response to the China NB comment on IEEE Response (part 1/3) IEEE 802 thanks the China NB for its comment during the 60 day ballot on IEEE as part of its consideration according to the PSDO agreement In the comment, the China NB objected to IEEE using a security mechanism based on the use of ISO/IEC/IEEE X because the China NB believes its comments in the previous FDIS ballot on ISO/IEC/IEEE X have not been satisfactorily resolved It is up to the China NB to determine whether their comments on previous FDIS ballots have been satisfactorily resolved or not. However, we note IEEE 802 has responded fully to every comment received from all ISO/IEC SC6 and JTC1 NBs during all 60 day and FDIS ballots undertaken as part of the PSDO defined process Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 40
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The SC agreed in May 2014 on a response to the China NB comment on IEEE Response (part 2/3) IEEE 802 does not believe there are any outstanding issues related to ISO/IEC/IEEE X, and notes that this standard is being successfully implemented globally today in billions of devices. IEEE 802 encourages any users of the standard, including China NB security experts, to provide further details of any issues related to ISO/IEC/IEEE X at any time This can be done by or at a face to face meeting of the IEEE Working Group. The IEEE Working Group meeting schedule is available from the IEEE Working Group Chair (Glenn Parsons, Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 41
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The SC agreed in May 2014 on a response to the China NB comment on IEEE Response (part 3/3) In the comment, the China NB also asserted that the quality and reputation of ISO/IEC standards have been diminished by the use of PSDO defined approval processes No evidence has been provided to justify this assertion, so it is difficult for IEEE 802 to respond in any meaningful way. However, IEEE 802 notes the PSDO agreement between IEEE and ISO has given ISO/IEC JTC1 NBs, as important stakeholders of the widely implemented and used ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802 series of standards, an effective mechanism for both review and approval. IEEE 802 believes the PSDO process has been very effective and encourages all NBs to make greater use of the opportunity to participate in the development and approval of the ISO/IEC/IEEE 8802 series of standards Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 42

doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 A liaison is required to ask SC6 for revision responsibility for Proposed liaison to SC6 (part 1/2) The IEEE WG is currently making use of the PSDO agreement between ISO and IEEE to enable ISO/IEC JTC1 NBs to review and ratify IEEE standards as ISO/IEC/IEEE standards The IEEE WG is using the same processes as those being used to enable the review and ratification the ISO/IEC/IEEE 802-1/3/11 series of standards, including those processes specified in 6N15606 ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 has made the use of those processes the basis of resolutions within SC6 to allocate responsibility for the revision process of the ISO/IEC /3/1 series of standards to the relevant IEEE 802 WG Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 44
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 A liaison is required to ask SC6 for revision responsibility for Proposed liaison to SC6 (part 1/2) The IEEE WG requests that SC6 adopts the following similar resolution with respect to the ISO/IEC/IEEE series of standards –As empowered by clause A1.2.1 of the PSDO agreement between ISO and IEEE, SC 6 decides to allocate responsibility for the revision process of the ISO/IEC/IEEE series of standards to the IEEE WG while the IEEE WG has an ongoing revision process for the IEEE standard. A condition of this resolution is that SC 6 and its NBs have access to an established mechanism to contribute to the revision process in the IEEE WG. Note that this proposed resolution is in the same form as Resolutions 6.1.9/1011 that were approved in September 2012 at the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 6 plenary meeting in Gratkorn/Graz, Austria Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 45

doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 There has been no further action on any of the TePA based proposals The China NB has been threatening NP proposals for the various TePA based proposals –WAPI, TLSec, TEPA-AC, TAAA, TISec So far no NPs have been proposed –Except WAPI, which was withdrawn in 2012 after much controversy It is possible that the China NB may now propose NPs after their Snowden presentation in Ottawa in Feb 2014 However, any such NPs face a variety of difficulties –Snowden is a very weak justification for a problem best handled by open & transparent standards –There are no known technical or market justifications for these NPs –It will be very difficult to identify 5 interested experts from 5 NBs If any NP is proposed by the China NB then the IEEE 802 will need to respond to it in detail and lobby SC6 NBs Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 48
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 WAPI has not gone away; it may be re-proposed in SC6 despite uncertainty about the process WAPI was cancelled as an NP proposal in early 2012 There was been little discussion of WAPI in SC6 since that time but there is a possibility it might be re-proposed The process for re-proposing WAPI in SC6 is currently uncertain –There is a claim made at the Korea meeting in June 2013 that the WAPI NP could be un-cancelled by a simple vote of SC6 NBs … –… despite some ambiguity, a good case could be made that un-cancelling the WAPI NP requires a new NP ballot WAPI has not gone away –It has ongoing support in China … –… but WPA2 is being embraced by Chinese SPs anyway –… particularly as part of HS2.0 (based on u) –WAPI will have ample government funding for the foreseeable future Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 49
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The security discussion between IEEE 802 and the Swiss NB is proceeding “glacially” A discussion has been held between the IEEE 802 delegation to SC6 and the Swiss NB over many months on security issues … … in an attempt to create a better understanding between the two sides An early agreement (August 2013) was that each side should do some “homework”: –Dan Harkins: how certificates are used and validated in 802.1X/EAP-TLS –Hans Thomman how certificates are used and validated in TePA Dan Harkins reviewed his “homework” to this SC in Dallas – a version was subsequently submitted (and presented in February 2014) to SC6 –See N15845 –There were no problems identified by SC6 NB members in Ottawa in N15845 Hans Rudolf Thomann was asked in Ottawa to prepare the equivalent for TePA, which he agree to complete There has been no further progress Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 50
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 Individuals in China and HK are still pushing an alternative security agenda Kingston Zhang (HK SAR, observer in SC6) and a number of Chinese individual recently presented to SC27 –See 27N13649 They argued for a “clean slate approach” in SC27, based on a variety of bogus claims about internet security In particular they proposed that the Future Network project in SC6/WG7 take responsibility for “Path Security for Cloud Computing” Reports from SC27 indicate: –The presentation didn't gain traction –CSA asked for the picture slide to be removed This is important to IEEE 802 only be cause it indicates the threat to our security standards has not gone away Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 51
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 A recent Chinese focus on internet security represents a risk and an opportunity for IEEE 802 Chinese President Xi Jinping elevated cybersecurity to a top national priority on February 27, 2014 with the announcement of the Central Internet Security and Information Leading Group This decision unifies for the first time all organizations involved in cybersecurity under a single structure President Xi personally chairs the group, and stated at the group’s inaugural meeting that “There is no national security without Internet security.” This represents both a risk and opportunity for IEEE 802 security standards The opportunity is to show that IEEE Security standards satisfy the Chinese needs for Internet security Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 52

doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 There is no news on EUHT standardisation in ISO/IEC … it may be dead There is no further news on standardisation of EUHT in ISO/IEC: –it was not discussed in Korea in June 2013 or in Ottawa in February 2014 Nufront presented to the IEEE WG and conducted a Q&A in Hawaii in May 2013 –See 595r0 & 595r1 for presentation595r0595r1 –See 640r0 for Q&A minutes640r0 Nufront presented to IEEE WG and this SC in relation to EUHT, and more explicitly coexistence with IEEE in Sept 2013 – EUHT Status Description1147 – EUHT Technology Document1148 – Interference and Co-existence Issues of EUHT network1149 – Process Recommendations on Coexistence Interference Analysis1150 It was hoped that Nufront would return in March 2014 to participate in HEW, but they did not –The individual involved have apparently been reallocated to other work Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 54
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 SC6/WG7 previously decided to delay decisions on two PWI proposals related to WLAN in 2013 SC6/WG7 discussed two proposals for PWIs related to WLAN at the Seoul meeting in 2013 –N15692: WLAN Cloud — Allows sharing of APs by SPs –N15691: Optimization technology in WLAN — Defines protocol for sending WLAN sniffing data to central database It appears the IEEE 802 delegation was not in attendance when the items were initially discussed However, later in the week the US NB rep successfully argued that PWIs should not be started in WG7 because the items were maybe within the scope of WG1 Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 55
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 In Ottawa in Feb 2014, the appropriate WG for the two PWI proposal related to WLAN was discussed WG1 and WG7 had a joint meeting in Ottawa in Feb 2014 to discuss the appropriate WG for the two PWI proposals New presentations were provided –N15913: WLAN Cloud — Proponents were not in attendance — But presented by China NB representative –N15911: Optimization technology in WLAN — Presented by proponents Cases were made for both to remain in WG7 –WLAN Cloud makes no change to WLAN interface; only the AP to controller interface (maybe they should go to IETF and change CAPWAP?) –Optimization technology in WLAN makes no change to WLAN interface, rather defining an interface between sniffer and database Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 56
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 It was “decided” in Feb 2014 to address the proposals in WG7 but neither PWI was approved No formal decision was made by the joint WG1/WG7 meeting, or by the SC6 plenary meeting … … but apparently the WG1 and WG7 Chairs made a decision that both activities should take place in WG7... to which the US NB objected on procedural grounds A resolution to start a PWI on “Optimization technology in WLAN” in WG7 failed –Failed 2/3/2, and no further action was taken –N15911 was subsequently removed from the SC6 document sever A resolution to send the Virtual AP document out for comment before the May 2014 interim WG7 meeting passed –Comments were requested by 30 April … Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 57
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 SC6/WG7 discussed the Virtual AP document in late May 2014 The IEEE WG responded to the call for comments on the Virtual AP document in March 2014 –See N15931 The China NB responded in May 2014 –See N15951 – “The Research Report on Framework and Interface of WLAN Virtual Network” The China NB responded with a revision in May 2014 –See N15966 – “The Research Report on Framework and Interface of WLAN Virtual Network” –This version also solved a copyright issue with a diagram copied from an IETF RFC All these documents were apparently discussed in May 2014 at the WG7 meeting in Beijing Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 58
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The latest version of Virtual AP seems to ignore the IEEE WG liaison N15966 seems to propose the following –Multiple SPs … –… using a single AP –… with a single SSID –… directing clients onto SP specific VLANs It does not acknowledge the IEEE WG liaison that states this is already possible It makes an additional claim that HS2.0 “cannot support private network though it can support WLAN users access Internet.” –This assertion is not justified Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 59
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 It is not clear what the China NB are planning next A China NB rep sent the following to the IEEE 802 JTC1 SC Chair –Based on current discussion, I think we have reached the following common points: — 1) WLAN virtuallization is needed by the market — 2) Hostspot 2.0 can almost do the same function and get some trial site already — 3) This proposal's technologies is different from hotspot 2. — 4) This proposal is just another technical approach to solve the problem just like tftp vs. ftp, etc. –But now, we have to reach a point to make a decision if we shall push another technical approach forward? It appears the China NB is starting to realise the Virtual AP proposal is not needed It is not clear what the China NB are planning next Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 60
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 What should the IEEE WG do about “Virtual AP”? Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 61
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 SC6/WG7 discussed the “Optimization technology in WLAN” document in late May 2014 The China NB uploaded a new “Optimization technology in WLAN” document in May 2014, replacing the version previously removed from te SC6 server –See N15961 – “Optimization Technology in WLAN” This document was apparently discussed in May 2014 at the WG7 meeting in Beijing –It appears to add some material out the discussion in Ottawa –But it is really confusing However, we do not know whether there were any outcomes Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 62

doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The IEEE 802 JTC1 SC will prepare for the October SC6 meeting at the July 2014 Plenary meeting Resolution from SC6 on scheduling for Oct meeting suggests we need to have our submissions to SC6 ready out of the July meeting –Following the ISO/IEC Directives, JTC 1 Supplement and JTC 1 Standing Document on Meetings, SC 6 establishes the following deadlines for contributions for the 2014 SC 6 meetings in UK: –Documents for the meetings, particularly those raising new issues/new agenda items or those for which approval at the meeting is desired, must be delivered to the Secretariat no later than for posting on the SC 6 web server. Documents received by the Secretariat after will be circulated for information but will not be considered, unless they fall into the exceptions specified in JTC 1 Standing Document on Meetings, in which case the deadline is Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 65

Other WG 7 related Issues — Optimization technology in WLAN — WLAN virtual network — Collaboration with IEEE Working Group There is no further detail Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 66
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The SC6/ WG1 agenda for London does not yet exist There is no agenda published for WG1 … … and no interesting uploaded documents The US NB may attempt to transition WG1 to less F2F meetings … … but that is not really a IEEE 802 issue Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 67
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The SC will probably need to select a new IEEE 802 liaison to SC6 Bruce Kraemer has acted as the IEEE 802 liaison officer to SC6 for some years It is possible/likely that Bruce will unavailable to continue this role Who would like to take over? –Note: it is probably inappropriate for Andrew Myles to take this role because of a perceived conflict with his “other hat” –Adrian Stephens is local! –Or we could call on Tony Jeffree who is also local We can delay this decision until September if required, but it is probably worth while empowering the IEEE 802 EC Chair this week to appoint a HoD at the appropriate time Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 68
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 The SC will consider a motion in relation to appointment of the IEEE 802 HoD Motion –The IEEE 802 JTC1 SC recommends to the IEEE 802 EC that the IEEE 802 Chair be empowered to appoint the IEEE 802 HoD to the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC6 meeting in London in October 2014 –Moved –Seconded –Result Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 69

doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 ISO/IEC JTC1 is changing the way it organises participation in WGs The organisational structure in ISO/IEC JTC1 is changing to align its operation with ISO A recent communication from JTC1 states –Working Groups are comprised of INDIVIDUAL EXPERTS appointed by National Bodies and Liaison Organizations –These experts MUST be entered into Global Directory to be considered a member of the WG and to receive documents –National Bodies are responsible for ensuring that their expert appointments are up to date –Liaison Organizations work via ITTF to maintain their expert members –If the expert is NOT in Global Directory, he/she will not receive documents and will NOT be considered a member of the WG. Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 71
doc.: IEEE /0795r0 Submission July 2014 ISO/IEC JTC1 is changing One way of dealing with this change is to empower the SC Chair to appoint experts to WG1 and WG7, with the understanding that anyone who volunteers will be appointed Proposed motion (for ratification by IEEE 802 EC) –The IEEE 802 JTC1 SC recommends to the IEEE 802 EC that the Chair of the IEEE 802 JTC1 SC be empowered to submit the names to ITTF of any IEEE 802 members who volunteer as “experts” to the appropriate Working Group lists in ISO/IEC JTC1 –Moved –Seconded –Result 9/0/0 Yell, if you would like to be appointed Andrew Myles, CiscoSlide 72
