14. doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0225r0 Report and Minutes March 2005 Pat R. Calhoun, AirespaceSlide 14 Output Documents 11-05/0224r2 – TGv requirements

15. doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0225r0 Report and Minutes March 2005 Pat R. Calhoun, AirespaceSlide 15 Goals for May Owners of specific requirements in document 11-05/0224r2 will present The group will then determine whether the presented requirement should be a requirement, or a non-requirement. Non-requirements are moved to the appropriate section (we track them to reduce rehashing old ideas in the future) Pat Calhoun and Veerma Anantha will create the usage scenarios document (using TGk and TGs format). A slot in May will be dedicated to discussing this document. New requirements may fall out of this use case scenario document The requirements document is expected to be completed in May Assign a permanent secretary and technical editor
