M2.3.1 NGMN Liaison (continued)
Jeorge Hurtarte writes:
NGMN (Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance) liaison letter was received on September 2,   The IEEE has not yet sent a response to this liaison.  Subsequent to the San Antonio November 2014 plenary, IEEE member Jeorge Hurtarte, Teradyne, discussed the NGMN liaison letter with Laurent Cariou's (Orange) for advice, and subsequently talked to Klaus Moschner (NGMN Senior Programme Manager).  Based on these discussions and on the description of the NGMN 5G white paper intent , we find the NGMN's liaison letter relevant to the IEEE initiatives as there is the potential to influence how operators think about the coexistence issues in 5 GHz through this forum.
Thus we are recommending to immediately draft a response to the NGMN during this Atlanta session as part of the REG WG meetings.   In such response, we should also indicate that the IEEE will review and comment on their 5G white paper.   We will be thus seeking volunteers to review such a white paper and provide comments.

12. W5.2 - How should 802.11 respond to "Interpretation Requests"
January 2015
W5.2 - How should respond to "Interpretation Requests"
The chair receives occasional “interpretation requests” from non-members:
Why does it work like this?
Shouldn’t it work like this?
What does this mean?
There is no formal IEEE-SA process for responding to such requests
Recently, the chair posted a request to the reflector inviting any member to respond privately, and one chose to respond.

More proactively seek a volunteer to consider? 6
Politely decline to make any response or take any action? 6
Other? 2
