The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein.
Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE
Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures < ieee802.org/guides/bylaws/sb-bylaws.pdf>, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group. If you have questions, contact the IEEE Patent Committee Administrator at

IEEE EAP Keying
Request from IETF to document IEEE EAP Keying Requirements
Input to the EAP Keying draft, see
Initial discussion held in TGr, in November 04, see r-ieee keying-requirements.doc
EAP Keying draft is being split into two documents, one describing current EAP keying usage, and a second describing future extensions. Need to re-visit 04/1498.

7. CAPWAP WG Request for IEEE 802.11Review of CAPWAP objectives document
March 2005
CAPWAP WG
Request for IEEE Review of CAPWAP objectives document
Objectives Draft available early April 05; Will forward to reflector, requesting comments
Recommend IEEE Chair to form Ad-Hoc to prepare response
Recommend Ad-hoc Conference Call April 27, 2005 Noon Eastern
Draft and approve response at May 05 Cairns meeting
Request for plan to resolve authenticator identity issue.
The centralized model encourages AC implementations to use one PMK for many different WTPs.  This practice facilitates speedy transition by a station from one WTP to another WTP that is connected to the same AC without establishing a separate PMK.  However, this leaves the station in a difficult position.  The station cannot distinguish between a compromised PMK and one that is intentionally being shared. This issue must be resolved, but the resolution is beyond the scope of the CAPWAP working group.  The venue for this resolution is to be determined by the  IEEE 802 and IETF liaisons.
Liaison discussion underway
