6. doc.: IEEE 802.11-07/2448r0 Submission Where are we in the process? In the 2007-08-06 VTS SG teleconference, it was proposed that we should work on a more focused problem space. In the 2007-08-13 VTS SG teleconference, a proposal was made to limit the focus the effort of this group to the streaming problem between Consumer Electronic devices in a Home Environment. A Straw Poll indicated strong support for this approach. The PAR/5C document (07/1972r4) was updated to reflect this focus. September 2007 Ganesh Venkatesan (Intel Corporation)Slide 6
