2. 15WNG process from ideas to a new TG project
Denver, March 2006
15WNG process from ideas to a new TG project
New ideas are presented in the 15WNG
Further discussions on the intentions and SG criteria by reflector, phone conference and WNG meetings.
Check that the criteria for starting a SG are fulfilled. If not the work item can be discarded or kept for further investigations / discussions.
Create a motion to the WG to start a SG to be approved by a straw poll. All attendees have voting rights.
The WG to approve the SG motion.
The SG charter is to produce the PAR and 5C documents required by IEEE-SA to approve a new TG.

3. Role of 802.15 Standing Committee: 15WNG
Denver, March 2006
Role of Standing Committee: 15WNG
Charter
To facilitate and stimulate presentations and discussions on new Wireless related Technologies within the defined scope, that may be subject for new TG standardization projects (or does not fit within the current projects).
Scope
WPAN technologies in general, not limited to only MAC/PHY layer (Not WLAN, WRAN or Infrastructure, and no legacy constrains)
Way of working
Presentations
Discussions on reflector, phone conferences and at the 15WNG sessions.
To use straw poll for eventual decisions on further actions
15WNG may decide by straw poll to recommend the WG to start a SG to produce PAR & 5C for a New Work item

Name
Features and Functions (what the should be supported)
Scope (what market, usage and technology)
Check that there are no blocking issues from the SG charter
Show Reasons for a Broad Market Potential (MRD)
Identify Unique / Discriminating features (FRD)
Technical feasibility within the timeframe of the project
Indicate other requirements like Security, Regulatory, co-existence, No blocking patents, etc. that may apply
