Google Waiver request, increased power at 60 GHz
Original waiver request
Our comments:
Google reply:
Facebook support of IEEE comments and more
Google reply to our comments did not fully answer our concerns, however Facebook did do a nice response that covered these points.
A joint letter from Google and FaceBook was just posted in the FCC filing.
With a compromise of lower EIRP of +13dBm from original request and duty cycle limits of 10% over 33mS.
This task is moving to monitor only, to see what final results are.

Comments are due on or before October 29, 2018;
Reply comments are due on or before November 27, 2018.
Sent to .11, .15, .22 and .24 chairs.

7. 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 (1/2)
September 2018
6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 (1/2)
Should see the NPRM ‘draft’ text 3 weeks before the FCC Open meeting this is on the agenda. (Open meeting dates: 26 Sept, 23 Oct, 15 Nov)
The time frame for comments and reply comments should be in this.
Next step continues on where the 11ax CoEx document goes.
There is a draft of the CoEx document comment resolutions and status:
Plan is to have CoEx document in place by the November Plenary.
If the NPRM comes out before IEEE 802 has a single voice, the .18 chair will call teleconference (s?) to work on the plan for NPRM response.
Here is the link to the document discussed at the July Plenary with several of the EC Chairs, that talks to some options.

8. 6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 (2/2)
September 2018
6 GHz and single voice from IEEE 802 (2/2)
Question asked thursday: Anything we can do to prepare for NPRM?
We identified several of the more pertinent filings in the proceeding that represents the different groups to understand direction the proceeding is going. (see back up slides at end.)
Will have discussion on 27 September teleconference on observations from the filing and educating all on the proceeding.
Then on 04 October teleconference there is possibility of the draft NPRM maybe out to start to review and understand it.
At the end meeting, if IEEE 802 is not finding a single voice / plan for the NPRM on desired IEEE 802 technologies for the band, would like to add to the option list maybe IEEE 802 comments on a view for spectrum management of the band.

Here are some of the most important filings to help show the direction the filing is going, considering the different interest groups.
Response to FWCC and Comscope.
This is the refined position, with some changes.
Wanting to make 6 GHz like the 3.5 GHz for sharing.
The 4 big mobile operators new receivers that are activated per year, now, under current rules. Doesn’t include all the changes also going on.
Primary frequency coordination, so has lots of history/experience for frequency coordination..
How to protect incumbents.

More:
Read attachment.
Other 2 satellite operators.
OET debriefing, lots of points covered. Gets you up to April 2018.
Some of the primary interest groups.
Broadcast
Satellite
Coordinator
Skipped over utilities (will be protected; looking further asking for protection) <see latest>
Skipped over public safety (going to First Net) (some discussion how backbone will work)
No federal government uses
Some additional notes.
This band with 9 sets of rules is a very unique band in that respect.
To add to the possible list of option for a single voice for IEEE 802: have a view on spectrum management of the band. (and maybe more silent on the rest).
Along with the desired one on technologies.
