7. Motion for n TG4n
Move that n TG approve the formation of a Ballot Resolution Committee (BRC) for the TG balloting of the n draft standard with the following membership: Arthur Astrin, Kenichi Mori, Masahiro Kuroda, Dietmar Eggert, Rick Powell, Wei Xia Zou and Liang Li. The n BRC is authorized to approve comment resolutions and to approve the start of recirculation ballots of the n draft on behalf of the n TG. Comment resolution on recirculation ballots between sessions will be conducted via reflector and via teleconferences announced to the reflector at least 7 days in advance. Moved by Kenichi Mori; Seconded by Shinsuke Hara Y/N/A : 2/0/0 Motion Carried by no opposition

CMB Background
Wireless connectivity is already used for healthcare applications both within hospitals and in residential situations. This provides flexibility to clinicians and healthcare providers and mobility and convenience for the patients. Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks (LR-WPAN) are already widely being used for this. Applications include electrocardiography and the monitoring of pulse oximetry, blood pressure and glucose levels as well as other patient vital signs like respiration, heart rate and temperature. In China as in the US, LR-WPAN is part of the growing Internet of Things Industries; it has been applied in hospital areas for medical and related info communications.
IEEE Std Chinese medical devices will make use of the existing high volume applications in the Chinese medical bands.
