Introduction
The discussion topic is “What is a winning regulatory strategy for holding and gaining spectrum for IEEE 802 standards, avoiding the exclusion from access to appropriate spectrum by ITU-R designations for IMT-2020 spectrum?”

How do we improve our interactions with Regulators?

How do we improve our interactions with ITU-R?
We cannot do this alone; we must find common ground to work with others with similar issues
We need a simple, clear and concise message
Regulators want to find ways to more effectively utilize the spectrum; can we point out some of the basic errors in their data, such as outdated and inaccurate propagation models, clutter calculations, busy time, etc, and propose ways to restudy and update
Other IEEE groups may have the similar band sharing issues with inaccurate propagation and building penetration models, e.g. ITU-R Recommendations P.452, P.528, P.619
Create a formal position on mmWave spectrum

4. Notes March 2016 Start with a spectrum strategy Lobbying strategies
Involve IEEE staff – identify other groups with similar interests
Spectrum needs based on current and future expected demand
Usage profiles
Band by band
By different standards (11, 15, 22)
Develop a simple, clear and concise message
Lobbying strategies
Look for collaborations within IEEE and outside
Groups and bodies with similar needs and/or concerns
All 802 wireless standards
Wi-Fi Alliance, Dynamic Spectrum Alliance, White Spaces Alliance, WiFiForward, Bluetooth SIG, WiSUN, TIA, SAE, JASPAR, ETSI
Engagements with regulatory bodies
Responses to proceedings
Face-to-face meetings

Notes [2]
Begin engagement with the regulators’ processes
Varies with regulatory bodies
Evaluate the spectrum opportunities
Analysis of potential sharing mechanisms
Propose a plan to enable sharing with incumbents
80% of life is showing up
Demonstrate our value proposition
Engage in the ITU-R process
Target the relevant questions and resolutions, and ITU-R agenda items
RLAN for , a.k.a. Nomadic
Re-engage with regulators to adopt ITU-R Recommendations
