Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy.
Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]:
“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)
The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

8. Call for Potentially Essential Patents

Call for Potentially Essential Patents
If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance:
Either speak up now or
Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or
Cause an LOA to be submitted
David Bagby, Calypso Ventures, Inc.

9. Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws.
Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims.
Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.
Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.
Technical considerations remain primary focus
Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets.
Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation.
Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object.
See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

Any update, or further action needed? – none
Draft will be made available, goal is for April
CAPWAP
Draft for n has expired
Draft alternate tunnel - is unchanged and not clear status/will continue.

21. Design Pattern for MIB attributes
The WG11 Chair has requested that the ARC SC investigate and create a Design Pattern for MIB attributes of the form “*Implemented” and “*Activated”

22. What is an ESS? Current definition depends on the relationship to LLC
“A set of one or more interconnected basic service sets (BSSs) that appears as a single BSS to the logical link control (LLC) layer at any station (STA) associated with one of those BSSs.”
That would mean a Bridged LAN (for example) creates an ESS. Probably not what we (802.11) meant.
We probably meant something about transparency of “location of attachment”/”mobility”, from whatever is using the MAC
Is it:
Transparent to whatever upper layer is above ?
The APs have to have some common/similar configuration settings? (BSSID, at least. Probably other facilities (security, etc.) and policies?)

23. ARC Future Activities & sessions
ARC SC meets when a specific focused task is requested of the SC for which the is sufficient volunteer interest.
Continue work on architectural models, and liaison with TGs in development of their architecture as appropriate
Monitor 5G/IMT-2020 activities of 802
Design Pattern for “*Implemented” and “*Activated” MIB attributes
Will also follow 802.1/ activities on links, bridging, and MAC Service definition,
Monitor/report on IETF/802 activities, as needed
Monitor/report on IEEE 1588 activities, as needed
If you have ANY other topic that you would like ARC SC to consider, contact the SC chair.

24. Planning for July 2016 Plan for two individual meeting slots
Usual slot on Wed AM1
Another slot for standalone ARC work (Monday/Tuesday?)
Another slot joint with ak, (Thursday’s slot)
Individuals interested in ARC work are encouraged to also attend other TGak or TGaq sessions, and monitor 5G/IMT-2020 activities
No teleconferences
May schedule with 10 days notice if discussion warrants

25. Thursday, May 19th, AM1
