Instructions for the WG Chair
The IEEE-SA strongly recommends that at each WG meeting the chair or a designee:
Show slides #1 through #4 of this presentation
Advise the WG attendees that:
The IEEE’s patent policy is consistent with the ANSI patent policy and is described in Clause 6 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws;
Early identification of patent claims which may be essential for the use of standards under development is strongly encouraged;
There may be Essential Patent Claims of which the IEEE is not aware. Additionally, neither the IEEE, the WG, nor the WG chair can ensure the accuracy or completeness of any assurance or whether any such assurance is, in fact, of a Patent Claim that is essential for the use of the standard under development.
Instruct the WG Secretary to record in the minutes of the relevant WG meeting:
That the foregoing information was provided and that slides 1 through 4 (and this slide 0, if applicable) were shown;
That the chair or designee provided an opportunity for participants to identify patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) of which the participant is personally aware and that may be essential for the use of that standard
Any responses that were given, specifically the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) and/or the holder of the patent claim(s)/patent application claim(s) that were identified (if any) and by whom.
The WG Chair shall ensure that a request is made to any identified holders of potential essential patent claim(s) to complete and submit a Letter of Assurance.
It is recommended that the WG chair review the guidance in IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual and in FAQs 12 and 12a on inclusion of potential Essential Patent Claims by incorporation or by reference.
Note: WG includes Working Groups, Task Groups, and other standards-developing committees with a PAR approved by the IEEE-SA Standards Board.

Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy. Participants:
“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
“Personal awareness” means that the participant “is personally aware that the holder may have a potential Essential Patent Claim,” even if the participant is not personally aware of the specific patents or patent claims
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of such 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
Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

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.

The elimination of TKIP and GCMP as choices for the pairwise cipher suite may result in a lack of overlap of the remaining pairwise cipher suite choices, in which case the VHT STA shall decline to create an RSN association with that AP.
A VHT STA that is in an IBSS or that is transmitting frames through a direct link shall eliminate TKIP and GCMP as choices for the pairwise cipher suite if CCMP is advertised by the other STA or if the other STA included either an HT Capabilities element or a VHT Capabilities element in any of its Beacon, Probe Response, DLS Request, or DLS Response messages.
NOTE—The elimination of TKIP and GCMP as choices for the pairwise cipher suite might result in a lack of overlap of the remaining pairwise cipher suites choices, in which case the STAs will not exchange encrypted frames..

Motion #25: (MAC 11/0036)
Move to update the spec framework document to define VHT NAV assertion as following
A VHT STA shall update its NAV using the Duration/ID field value in any frame received in a 20 MHz PPDU in the primary 20 MHz channel or received in a 40 MHz PPDU in the primary 40 MHz channel or received in a 80MHz PPDU in the primary 80 MHz channel or received in a 160 MHz or MHz PPDU and that does not have an RA matching the STA’s MAC address.
NOTE—A STA need not set its NAV in response to 20/40/80 MHz frames received on any channel that is not or does not include the primary channel, even if it is capable of receiving those frames.

—        NUM_USERS shall be set to 1.
—        GROUP ID shall be set to 63 (all ones).
—        NUM_STS shall indicate two or more space-time streams.
The number of space time streams sounded and as indicated by the NUM_STS parameter shall not exceed the value indicated in the Compressed Steering Number of Beamformer Antennas Supported field in the VHT Capability element of the STA that is the intended recipient of the VHT NDP. The NUM_STS parameter may be set to any value, subject to the constraint of the previous sentence, regardless of the value of the Supported MCS Set field of the VHT Capabilities field at either the transmitter or recipient of the NDP.
A STA shall not transmit an NDPA addressed to a STA or broadcast and including a STA’s AID in one of the STA Info fields in the frame unless it has received from that STA a VHT Capability element where the last VHT Capability element received has the SU Beamformee Capability field set to 1 or the MU Rx Capability field is set to 1 or both fields set to 1.
