Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
January 2012 Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings 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. See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

Regulatory Summary – European Union
January 2012 Regulatory Summary – European Union ETSI EN v1.8.0 EN v1.7.1 Ofcom Ofcom Chief Executive Spectrum Policy speech EC Study: “Perspectives on the value of shared spectrum” Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
15
January 2012 EN v1.8.0 ERM TG11 has completed work on the TCAM mandated sharing rules Last minute effort by industrial group to add a “coexistence manager” failed A person who determines when sharing can be turned off Required consensus for adoption Now must be approved by member states Process could complete this year New WI will start in May Improve sharing mechanisms, a.k.a. adaptivity Improve test plans Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
16
January 2012 EN v1.7.1 While updating the specification to fix issues, adaptivity has been added based on suggestion from commenter Similar to sharing rules added to EN Approval process simpler than EN Began as editorial changes Should complete by end of 2012 Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion

Ofcom Chief on the Future of Spectrum
January 2012 Ofcom Chief on the Future of Spectrum Speech delivered to the ECTA Regulatory Conference, November 29, 2011: “SPECTRUM IN AN AGE OF INNOVATION” Important points The “command and control” approach to spectrum allocation, granting licenses for government or commercial use in perpetuity, is no longer valid; it does not address public needs or address technology advances Ofcom taking a new approach in 800 and 2600 MHz bands to avoid the current issue of large commercial interests blocking allocations for “strategic” reasons, with litigation and lobbying Government alone cannot grant guarantees against interference from adjacent bands; stakeholders can work these issues out Although international harmonization of spectrum is a long term goal, that process should begin now Rich Kennedy, Research In Motion
