Draft Availability
Available as of 9/12 from IEEE web:
802.11i D3.0 & D7.0
As new drafts are created by motion, many TGs are releasing the documents to IEEE for publication and sale
This generates funds that ultimately support get802 program
TGs should discuss and make recommendation if the draft is appropriate for sale

6. Edition Activities Editions Reaffirmations / Revisions
January 2004
Edition Activities
Editions
No editions are planned at this time
Publication of amendments has higher priority than editions
Agreement between EXCEOM and IEEE-SA staff
802.11g and h do not trigger a new roll-up edition
This is a business decision of IEEE-SA
Reaffirmations / Revisions
No revisions are planned at this time
Approval of e, k, i and m may be a good trigger point for a revision containing all approved amendments
Revision PAR request must be made well in advance
New SA rules recently passed regarding requirements for revision– impact must be understood by staff and will be reported in future
Terry Cole, AMD
