5. 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

6. Patent Related Links
All participants should be familiar with their obligations under the IEEE-SA Policies & Procedures for standards development.
Patent Policy is stated in these sources:
IEEE-SA Standards Boards Bylaws

Material about the patent policy is available at
If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at or visit
This slide set is available at

7. 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

17. Business #4 Information model for Access network and User service
Meeting reconvened by chair at 16:00
Information model for Access network and User service
Max presented his work on the service information model and walked through all the 6 components.
A number of comments were made for review and adoption including the addition of Beacon and ProbeRequest, terminal triggered 802.1X authentication procedure, and a number of naming and description issues. May offered to adopt the comments to a new revision also following the recommendation to show all components starting from the root.
Max shortly presented the outline of the section aimed for representation of the service information model. Max offered to upload a version exposing the figures for the following session.
Hao provided a short introduction into his approach for the configuration and management model. He adopted the principal approach from the 802.1X information model and showed a first draft for the network setup procedures.
Max recommended to focus on the configuration and the management aspects, which are described in chapter 7.1 and 7.8 respectively.
Meeting recessed by chair at 18:14

18. Business #5 Information model for Access network and User service
Meeting reconvened by chair at 16:05
Information model for Access network and User service
Hao walked through the slides and explained the basic principles used for the creation of the 802.1X information model, and how the same princples could be applied for the model for network initiation.
Of the two different models shown, the model more closely following the NRM was considered the more appropriate. Hao was asked to create for complete models for both initialization as well as FDM for inclusion into the specification.
Max shortly showed the revisions made based on the discussions of the previous day.
The group agreed to insert the material provided through the .docx document into the specification.
Meeting recessed by chair at 17:55

19. Business #6 Plan for going WG ballot w/ 802.1CF-D0.7 draft
Meeting reconvened by chair at 10:30
Plan for going WG ballot w/ 802.1CF-D0.7 draft
WG ballot would close Jan 19th
WG ballot would open Dec 18th
Conference calls until Mar F2F
Confcall to conclude on P802.1CF-D1.0 on Dec 12th
Confcall to agree on final additions for D0.7 on Dec 5th
Confcall to progress contributions and editorial clean-up on Nov 28th
Further conference calls as agreed in January interim for February 2018
Motions to closing plenary
Drafted and agreed in TG. Motions on following two slides.
Text proposal for adoption of TSN in Chap 7.5 & 7.6
Max presented the slides to remember the conclusions of the TSN discussions at the St. John’s meeting and bringing up the question, which figures to add to the specification.
Call-outs will be used to depict the location of the TSN related control functions in the NRM to avoid misperception that TSN would require further refinement of the NRM.
Max walked through the Word document showing the planned places for adding the content on TSN. Section 7.5 will contain a comprehensive explanation of the TSN components, and chapter 7.6 will amended to show the mapping of the TSN control to the functions and elements of the NRM.
Further content is necessary to sufficiently cover TSN in the P802.1CF specification. Max announced that he will carefully review necessary changes to the existing content, but surprisingly less need for modifications came up than expected.
