IEEE 802.11ah Ad Hoc Sub Group ChairsThe Ad Hoc chair position will rotate. However each Ad Hoc group will have a permanent position to act as comments admin. The comments admin is one of the 3 Ad Hoc chairs. For the MAC Ad Hoc, the comments admin is Yong Liu. For the PHY Ad Hoc, the comments admin is Minho Cheong. Since the comments admin is one of the Ad Hoc chairs, they will still serve as Ad Hoc chair in their rotation. The comments admin can find someone to fill in as comments admin during their active chair rotation. However, the comments admin position is still their responsibility.

Note: The rotation period is from the beginning of an IEEE 802.11 interim or plenary until the start of the next IEEE 802.11 interim or plenary. (i.e. 2 months)

Responsibilities of the Ad Hoc chair,• Work on proposed agenda with other sub group chairs• Call meeting to order• Make sure someone is taking notes before proceeding

– Typically this will be done by other sub group chair• Ensure meeting proceeds in an orderly fashion, in coordination with other sub

group chairs.• Provide status to task group

Comments admin

If the group is organized into ad-hocs that will proceed in parallel, a comments admin will need to be identified for each ad-hoc, so that timely updates to comments can be performed. The ad-hoc comments admin is responsible for recording comment resolutions in a timely fashion. The Task Group comments admin is responsible for getting updated comment resolutions from these ad-hoc comments owners in a timely fashion. Note the group may publish a single spreadsheet (provided by the Tasg Group comments admin) or multiple spreadsheets (provided by the ad-hoc comments admin) as it finds convenient.

Note that the use of any particular technology by the comments admin is not necessary, provided that posted documents match the formats recently used in the WG. However, if the group operates multiple ad-hoc comments owners, then use of the APS database is strongly recommended. (This was how 802.11 D1 operated, and the pain caused by managing the process was why the APS database was written in the first place).

Comment administratorsResponsible for making sure that comment resolutions are accurately recorded and presented to the members, and determines when all comments have a resolution.

Task Group comments admin tasks include:– Liaise with WG officers to obtain ballot comments (if necessary)– Publish comments in spreadsheet format familiar to WG members. Remove any commenter personal data when supplied by the system (MyProject does this).–Liaise with chair or WG officers to upload approved comments resolutions (MyBallot).

Ad Hoc comments admin tasks include:– Summarize progress on comment resolution for the chair as requested– Upload updated spreadsheets in a timely fashion during comment resolution. (timely => no slower than overnight, expect faster when a “vote to ballot” is pending)– Enter approved comment resolutions into the comment resolution spreadsheet

Note: The Task Group comments admin is the TGah editor
