2. November 2003 Brian Mathews - AbsoluteValue Systems, Glyn Roberts – ST Microelectronics IEEE doc: 11-03-0982-00-0psc Submission Background ● A letter dated 30-Sep-03 was received by Stuart Kerry from Josep Vidal, the Project Coordinator for the IST Romantik project (text of that letter is in document 11-02-0974r00). ● An activity was begun to draft a response letter supporting and encouraging the work of this project. However, since there is already a participant in their project (Thomas Haslestad) who attends 802.11 meetings there does not appear to be a need for a formal liaison relationship. The ROMANTIK project will be allowed access to draft documents through Mr. Haslestad provided the usage is academic and research oriented (no commercial usage).

3. November 2003 Brian Mathews - AbsoluteValue Systems, Glyn Roberts – ST Microelectronics IEEE doc: 11-03-0982-00-0psc Submission Proposed response letter text Dear Josep Vidal, Thank you for sending me your letter dated September 30, 2003 requesting establishment of a liaison between the IEEE 802.11 Working Group and the IST Romantik project. As the working group considered your request we became aware that a person involved in the Romantik project is a regular attendee at 802.11 meetings. The person's name is Thomas Haslestad (email: Thomas.Haslestad@telenor.com). Since Thomas has access to 802.11 draft documents, I propose that Thomas Haslestad may provide any needed draft documents to the Romantik project. It must be understood that these documents are provided to the Romantik project assuming that they will only be used for academic and research (non-commercial) purposes. I hope this will meet the needs of the Romantik project. We look forward to hearing of interesting and useful results from your research project. Respectfully yours, Stuart J. Kerry Chairman, IEEE 802.11 Working Group +1-408-474-7356

4. November 2003 Brian Mathews - AbsoluteValue Systems, Glyn Roberts – ST Microelectronics IEEE doc: 11-03-0982-00-0psc Submission Conclusion ● This letter text will be used by the 802.11 chair to respond to the letter from the IST Romantik project.
