Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication.

3. IEEE Publication Status of 802.11 WG
November 2006
doc.: IEEE /1882r0
May 2007
IEEE Publication Status of WG
P802.11RevMA (D9.0) was approved by REVCOM on Mar 8! D9.0 is for sale now on web site.
The document is now being professionally edited by IEEE staff with review by WGTE/TG editor
Publication expected in June
Taking longer than previous drafts, but then it is much bigger.
There have been delays in the start due to high IEEE staff work load and changes in IEEE staff changes.
IEEE staff have informed me that moving forward there is no commitment to the 2 months publication target we experienced in the last several years.
WGTE will continue to negotiate for best possible service
