March 2007 doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 July 2007 Goals 1. To facilitate the adoption of the upcoming standard of s by providing its first open implementation. 2. To replace the numerous existing, non-interoperable, incomplete mesh implementations with one based on the standard. 3. To raise visibility of s technology and to promote a community of active developers interested in s. Javier Cardona Guenael Strutt, Motorola
