3. Outline from the EC Draft 802 LMSC regulatory mission:
November 2015
Outline from the EC
Draft 802 LMSC regulatory mission:
1) respond to regulatory body requests
1.1) develop common 802 positions where possible
1.2) accommodate differences among 802 working groups
1.3) rapid response capability to ensure deadlines are met
2) be proactive
2.1) develop and publish positions based on the 802 communities needs

4. Problem Statement November 2015
Working with regulators must be both strategic and tactical
The strategic requires both working on the development of recommendations in ITU and providing regulators with technology roadmaps to guide them in the development of their proposed changes
The tactical involves keeping track of pending regulatory changes and responding in a timely manner
Regulators consider the SDOs to be the experts, and prefer guidance from them over that from industry associations
Regulators want the industry to collaborate and achieve consensus, and bring a united view
The current leadership, structure and man-hours invested by IEEE 802 are insufficient to do a proper job
The most critical regulatory decisions are happening now; waiting or delay is no longer an option

5. Mission Statement for Regulatory Change
November 2015
Mission Statement for Regulatory Change
Represent IEEE 802 as the leader in wireless access networking development
Provide regulators with roadmap and rationale for new standards work
Respond to all relevant regulatory proceedings
Develop a relationship with regulators that encourages dialogs, both formal and informal
Represent the best interests of every IEEE 802 wireless WG to regulators
Internal compromises only when the best interests of each WG involved are not muted
IEEE 802 positions should present multiple positions when necessary, the regulators should do the accommodation
Rapid response to proceedings is critical
Approval process must incorporate an expedited response capability
Meeting schedules must have greater flexibility
SC votes must be allowed in teleconferences
Improve collaboration and coordination with appropriate Industry Organizations
