Participants, Patents, and Duty to Inform
All participants in this meeting have certain obligations under the IEEE-SA Patent Policy.
Participants [Note: Quoted text excerpted from IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws subclause 6.2]:
“Shall inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of each “holder of any potential Essential Patent Claims of which they are personally aware” if the claims are owned or controlled by the participant or the entity the participant is from, employed by, or otherwise represents
“Should inform the IEEE (or cause the IEEE to be informed)” of the identity of “any other holders of potential Essential Patent Claims” (that is, third parties that are not affiliated with the participant, with the participant’s employer, or with anyone else that the participant is from or otherwise represents)
The above does not apply if the patent claim is already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance that applies to the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group
Early identification of holders of potential Essential Patent Claims is strongly encouraged
No duty to perform a patent search

Call for Potentially Essential Patents
If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance:
Either speak up now or
Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or
Cause an LOA to be submitted

8. Other Guidelines for IEEE WG Meetings
All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws.
Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims.
Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions.
Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings.
Technical considerations remain primary focus
Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets.
Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation.
Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed … do formally object.
See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

Status/Background
At the July 802 Plenary meeting in San Diego passed a motion to form this committee [1] to:
Coordinate and support an IMT-2020 proposal, external proposal (option B3)
Coordinate with and support (lead) in meeting the actions towards “IEEE “5G” specification” (option A)
Report status to on the activities of this committee.
These activities flow from the conclusions of the IEEE 802 EC 5G/IMT-2020 Standing Committee Report [2]
The IEEE 802 EC 5G/IMT-2020 SC was charted (Feb-Jul ‘16) by the 802 EC, with Glenn Parson as Chair
The SC held multiple F2F (4) and electronic meeting (10)
The conclusions of the IEEE 803 EC 5g/IMT-2020 SC [2]:
The four Actions addressed under the Standing Committee scope are not mutually exclusive.
There is a preference for Action B3, with a secondary desire to progress Action A.

The committee's name
There is a strong desire not to use “5G” in the name of this committee, as “5G” seems to be an ill defined label
Both areas of activity should be considered:
Action A – Specify an 802 access network
First step organized by WG: to create one or more Industry Connections Projects
Action B3 – Support development of a 3GPP proposal to IMT-2020 incorporating reference to the use of IEEE
Fist step organized by WG: to liaison with 3GPP
Proposed names:
Next Generation Networks SC - NGN
Next Generation Requirements SC – NGR
2020 Networking SC – 20N
Suggestions? (I am not very enamored of any of the above)

22. Straw Poll on Committee Name
Advanced Network Interface – ANI
PI5
Advanced Packet Network – APN
Interfaces to Advanced Networks – I2AN or IAN
Advanced Access Network – AAN
Next Generation Networks SC - NGN
Chicago Straw Poll Results: 1/2/3/4/5/6 – 14/3/3/3/15/2
Proposed merger of 1 and 5:
Advanced Access Network Interface – AANI
Agreed AANI SC by mutual consent (no objections)

Draft LS to 3GPP RAN
Initial ruff Draft in 11-16/1101r0, “Draft LS from to 3GPP RAN and SA on ITM-2020”
Briefly reviewed:
Suggestion to include 3GPP SA in to and not cc.
Adrian Stephens provided some insight to how we may work with 3GPP based on discussions he had with Richard Burbidge (Intel) the 3GPP RAN2 WG chair may need to consider establishing a relationship with 3GPP via the “SDO Council”, LS activity may need to be coordinated through the 3GPP TSG RAN ITU Ad Hoc (RAN AH1 (ITU)). - This need to be confirmed.
The Chair called for review, comments, and text proposals for this document.

Future Sessions Planning 
Teleconference: September 10:00 am EDT:
Continue discussion on LS to 3GPP
Request text proposals for the LS to 3GPP
September F2F meeting:
Tuesday – complete draft LS to 3GPP, so it can be presented at the Mid-Week Plenary for discussion/review
Thursday – update LS to 3GPP if necessary, based on discussion/review at the Mid-Week Plenary. Finalize the LS for approval at the Closing Plenary.
Goal is to send an LS from to 3GPP RAN before the September 3GPP RAN Plenary meeting (September 19-22), 3GPP SA Plenary meeting (September 21-23)
