3. Ad Hoc Operation Submission based Agenda for meetings
March 2007
Ad Hoc Operation
Submission based
Submissions should reference submitted comments
Submissions may be either solicited or unsolicted
We will only review individual comments upon request of members
Agenda for meetings
Will be determined by ad hoc chair and announced in advance as much as possible
Priority will be (high to low):
solicited submissions
unsolicited submissions
General comments
Resolving comments
Proposed comment resolutions will be voted in ad hoc
Goal is to reach 75% or higher agreement
In some cases may have to accept simple majority, but comment resolutions with less than 75% agreement may be held in ad hoc (not motioned in TGn)
Chair will make motions in TGn regarding comment resolution of behalf of ad hoc
Will ask for prior consent of ad hoc

4. March 2007
Comment Resolution
PHY comments may be found in submission 11-07/0341r1
There are 284 unique PHY comments assigned
313 total PHY comments (29 duplicates)
I have divided them into 23 topic groups
In this session we will review topic groups and ask for volunteers
Role of volunteer
Prepare submission(s) on how to resolve these comments
May return some comments to ad hoc chair

Other discussion AM2 Tuesday
Should non-HT duplicate be considered an HT format or a non-HT format?
Is a 20 MHz transmission in a 40 MHz mask a complaint waveform?
Do we need to force ourselves into a binary decision? Can we propose a set of terms to resolve this issue?
Would a device that could send only non_Ht duplicate packets, would it be an HT-device? Would it be a legacy device?
While coming up with new terms may not create a lot of text, it might touch many sections in the MAC.
Should this be discussed in the TGn ad hoc?

9. Wednesday PM2 Agenda Planning Comments March 2007
Planning for April and May
Is there a need for a telecon in April?
Will submissions be ready in May?
Our goal for May is to resolve 80% of comments
Resolve most of the simple items
Start building consensus on difficult issues
In July we’ll try to resolve the remaining comments
Comments
New update 11-07/0341r2 is on server
Reassigned comments are being sent to PHY
I have assigned a comment group
I expect some assignees to reassign some comments to the pHY at large
I’ll move these into “misc” and look for volunteers in July or propose a resolution myself
I welcome volunteers for some of the comments in misc
Send an to me , cc Bruce Kraemer
All submissions relating to resolution of PHY comments are welcome
If you prepare a submission, please contact me (also cc Bruce Kraemer) to request time on the agenda

Submissions

Modified to r1 based on discussions in ad hoc.
Doug Chan plans to make a submission explaining comment with CID 346 and 406 before we resolve them. The submission will be ready before the May IEEE meeting.
The use of the word “transmission” when specifying receiver CCA seems awkward to some people, but has precedence in The group may try to come up with better words, though some members prefer the word transmission.
