Summary
Extend 11u network discovery mechanisms (e.g. GAS and ANQP) to enable transport for service discovery within the infrastructure (DS):
Operates in a pre-associated and associated state
Information associated with hotspot and local servers
Request/Response mechanism
STA in a pre-associated state
Richer request/response version of ANQP (not necessarily called ANQP)
Provides a simple container to carry higher layer protocols (e.g. uPnP, Bonjour)
MAC frame extensions
Other items to consider
Provide response data integrity with signed requests
Emergency services

Progress this week
WNG presentation r2 (Tuesday evening)
Straw Poll: Should IEEE consider the creation of a study group to further discuss the topic of “discovery of ESS services”?
Result: Yes 53; No 1; Need more information: 30; Abstain/Don’t care 4
Motion: Request the WG to request approval by IEEE 802 LMSC to form an Study Group to consider the discovery of services within the access network with the intent of creating a PAR and five criteria.
Moved:  Stephen McCann (RIM)
Result: Yes: 32; No 12; Abstain 40; -- Motion fails
Conversation with No voters
Confusion about “P2P service discovery presentation” and the original “discovery of ESS services”
This proposal does not include any P2P aspects and now considers the discovery of services within the IEEE infrastructure
