Abstract
The presentation provides a short analysis of the issues of the current D0.3 Chapter 7.1 and proposes the outline of a restructuring to address the issues and provide a more consistent description.

4. D0.3 Chapter 7.1 ToC 7.1 Access network setup Issues:
7.1.1  Introduction and Overview
7.1.2  Dynamic spectrum allocation and access network setup procedure for ASA bands
7.1.3  Dynamic spectrum allocation for unlicensed bands
7.1.4  Access network setup and release procedure
Issues:
Main content in 7.1.4
7.1.2 describes special case of a piece of Access network setup and release procedure
Also is part of access network setup procedure
7.1.2 and are essentially particular use cases of access network setup
Lot of redundancy in chapter 7.1 due to treating particular functions of (channel assignments) separately
7.1.4 covers as well network release, which is not in scope for access network setup
Scope of access network release procedure not well defined
7.1.2 and do not mention role of NMS for network setup

5. Proposal:
Follow generic chapter ToC and subsume and as particular use cases adding to functional requirements, specific attributes, basic functions and detailed procedures.
Introduction
Roles and identifiers
Use cases
Functional requirements
Specific attributes
Basic functions
Detailed procedures
Mapping to IEEE 802 technologies

6. Conclusion
The slide set briefly presents the issues of current (D0.3) chapter 7.1 Access network setup
It proposes to restructure the chapter 7.1 according to generic structure with operation in ASA bands and operation in unlicensed bands becoming functions of two particular use cases.
If we can agree on approach for restructuring, I will provide draft text adopting current content adapted to new structure.
