Expectations
Conformance to policy and procedures of IEEE-SA, IEEE 802, IEEE
Develop an amendment incorporating components of WAPI
WPI appears within scope of the IEEE standard
Portions of WAI do not appear to be within scope of the IEEE standard
Will not include material beyond scope as normative text
Probable that text will be broken up and published by different groups in different standards
Must create a PAR and 5 Criteria to authorize the process
Subject to approval of membership, 802 ExCom, …
All amendments need active participation from interested parties to improve chance for success
Draft text evolves to meet concerns of voters
Every comment must be addressed
LOA required if there is a possibility of essential patents

Want a WAPI Tutorial in WNG for July
Need to acknowledge, however, that parts of WAPI are out of scope: this would give their cause a boost
