Guide the formulation of documentation that clearly & distinctly differentiates the purposes and services of the various IEEE WPAN standards Support the dissemination of information about IEEE 802.15 Working Group activities internally (among 802 working groups) and externally (among the electronics industry). Facilitate 802.15 task groups in reaching convergence and consensus on technical requirements. Determine how best to promote the public demonstration of interoperability between products built using 802.15 standards. Create and maintain liaisons with other selected industry marketing groups (e.g. Bluetooth, HomeRF) and standards bodies (e.g ETSI). Foster two-way communications between suppliers and consumers of WPAN products. Encourage and foster creation of value-added industry marketing groups as appropriate (e.g. Gigabit Ethernet Alliance, http://www.gigabit-Ethernet.org/).

The marketing study group will initially be commissioned between July ‘99 and Nov ‘99 and report findings and recommendations at each 802.15 meeting. Key areas to be studied are : –Types of and Value of marketing –Organization of requirements as embodied in CFAs –Actionable “Objectives”, priorities, deliverables, assignments and schedules

If these discussions go forward, then the Bluetooth SIG would like ETSI and IEEE coordinates their efforts so that both standards interoperate.” Jim Kardach, 15Jul99

Following previous discussions and the meeting in Washington DC August 31:st this is the to reconfirm the Bluetooth SIG wish to co-operate with ETSI and IEEE in publishing the Bluetooth specification. The collaboration between ETSI, IEEE and Bluetooth should be organised to maximise the benefits of our members of the three organisations. We therefore have jointly created a number of very preliminary positions of how to co-operate to jointly increase the quality and value of the specification.

It is intended that IEEE and ETSI will publish the specification after editing and agreed changes with Bluetooth. Source: Örjan Johansson (ECS) [SMTP:Orjan.Johansson@ecs.ericsson.se], 1Sep99

The purpose and intent of this is to ensure that all three parties successfully can be recognised in their respective marketplace and where there is market overlap the market messages are complementary. c) IEEE will address the lower layers (physical and data link) and ETSI the remaining levels.

Note The Bluetooth certification process in combination with royalty free licence will secure that the IEEE and ETSI standards will be interoperable with the original Bluetooth 1.0 draft foundation specification. The Bluetooth SIG is also in ongoing discussions with ETSI on interoperabilty and conformance issues. Source: Örjan Johansson (ECS) [SMTP:Orjan.Johansson@ecs.ericsson.se], 1Sep99
