1. Proposal for TGm SDD Call for Proposal Topics Schedule Document Number: IEEE C802.16m-08/256 Date Submitted: 2008-03-20 Source: Jose Puthenkulam (jose.p.puthenkulam@intel.com), Sassan Ahmadi (sassan.ahmadi@intel.com)jose.p.puthenkulam@intel.comsassan.ahmadi@intel.com Intel Corporation Hokyu Choi (choihk@samsung.com), Heewon Kang ( hkang@samsung.com)choihk@samsung.com@samsung.com Samsung Electronics Venue: IEEE 802.16 Session #54, Orlando, FL Base Document: None Purpose: To enable TGm to decide when proposals for various topics could be invited and also to enable contributors to know how much time they have to develop their proposal contributions. In addition to to enable completion of the SDD in a reasonable time Notice: This document has been prepared to assist IEEE 802.16. It is offered as a basis for discussion and is not binding on the contributing individual(s) or organization(s). The material in this document is subject to change in form and content after further study. The contributor(s) reserve(s) the right to add, amend or withdraw material contained herein. Release: The contributor grants a free, irrevocable license to the IEEE to incorporate material contained in this contribution, and any modifications thereof, in the creation of an IEEE Standards publication; to copyright in the IEEE’s name any IEEE Standards publication even though it may include portions of this contribution; and at the IEEE’s sole discretion to permit others to reproduce in whole or in part the resulting IEEE Standards publication. The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE 802.16. IEEE 802.16 Patent Policy: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802.16 Patent Policy and Procedures, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE 802.16 Working Group. The Chair will disclose this notification via the IEEE 802.16 web site.

2. 2 Motivation Presently TGm SDD call for proposal topics are decided each meeting. However knowing upfront which meeting, a certain topic is going to come up helps contributors to develop their material with better planning. While the granularity of topics can still subjective, if they are high level enough it will still help contributors develop their proposals appropriately. Also presently the TGm Work Plan (07/001r1) conceives completion of the SDD by Jul’08. We believe given current status of our development, most likely this would need to be updated to Nov’08.07/001r1  Hence we propose a SDD call for proposal topics schedule for TGm with this anticipated update
