Reports
P802.1CF submitted to RevCom for approval on March 20th.
Submission was announced on EC mailing list as required.
802.1 requested to adopt common style for F2F meeting minutes
Details open.
OmniRAN TG appreciates to establish common IEEE template for creating minutes. It will be consistently used for all OmniRAN TG meetings when available.
No other reports.

12. Business #3 P802.1CQ contributions
Roger introduced his slides addressing missing requirements and use cases for multicast address assignment. The slides are aimed to be presented to TSN to get feedback on demand for addressing multicast addresses in P802.1CQ
Group agreed with the presented material and chair asked Roger to reach out to TSN chair for arranging a presentation to TSN at the upcoming Vancouver F2F.
Antonio gave a short introduction into the IEEE 1722 MAAP solution. An adaptation of MAAP could be used for the self-assignment procedure of unicast addresses.
Antonio was asked to prepare for a follow-on presentation at the Vancouver F2F in particular addressing the benefits and potential issues of adaptation to unicast self-assignment.
Antonio briefly presented the planned additions to P802.11md to enable ANQP based MAC address assignment. The presented elements were cooperatively developed with experts.
Initial thoughts were discussed, what is needed in P802.1CQ in relation to the information elements defined in P802.11REVmd. A kind of application note may be sufficient to show the deployment of the defined information elements. However, the address assignment server may have additional functions to communicate the address assignment policies to the APs for insertion in the ANQP information.

13. Business #4 Potential new standardization topic for OmniRAN TG
Nothing uploaded for discussion
Plans and agenda proposal for the Mar plenary
