14. 802 / P2413 Co Sponsor
P2413 is seeking co-sponsors – should IEEE 802 be a co-sponsor?
What are the possible benefits and downsides (if any)
First Steps (regarding our existing liaison):
Liaison letter to P2413 to make it clear /IoT should be kept in the loop regarding any IEEE IoT related activities
Liaison ensures full and complete sharing of all information between 802 and P2413
Could be or all 802 WGs
Note: P2413 is an entity based group – only released drafts can be forwarded through a liaison. It is not automatic. P2413 is creating one document.
Can base transfer on when P2413 thinks a consolidated draft could be shared with a broader audience.
Is more collaboration possible beyond the liaison?
Conclusion – remain with Liaison, but no need for co-sponsoring

IEC PC118 adopted OpenADR
IEEE and IEC have dual logo program – not appealing to IEC – slow progress w.r.t P2030.
CA Rule 21 is driving interest in P for control of smart inverters
Revision will include necessary changes
Future revision could address PC118
