2. Why, what, when, how
FCC Allocated 7 more GHz so 60GHz band goes all the way to 71 GHz
Other regions are considering similar extension of the mmWave band
15.3 millimeter wave PHY (15.3c) defines 4 channels
New allocation allows total of 6 channels
6 is more than 4
15.3e channel plan includes channelization using the extended band for the new PHY
includes channelization to use the extended band
Thus this project updates the 15.3 mmWave PHY to current reality

3. WG Motion: WG approval of PAR and CSD
Request that the PAR and CSD contained in documents [ ] and [ ], respectively, be approved by the IEEE WG and that the EC be requested to forward the PAR to NesCom. The working group chair and technical editor are authorized to make additional modifications to the PAR and CSD as needed to reflect EC discussion at its closing meeting.
