Recording Attendance• It is a requirement that attendees record their participation at an 802.11
session and declare their affiliation. This record is usually made using the IMAT attendance system.– If you wish to participate without recording attendance, send an email per session
to the WG 2nd vice chair declaring your participation and affiliation. You cannot gain or maintain 802.11 voting membership using this method.
• You must record 75% attendance of eligible 802.11 slots in a session for that session to count towards gaining or maintaining 802.11 voting membership– You need a single IEEE-SA web account
• The IEEE SA web account requires a working email address• do not remove your email address from the account
– Use the email address associated with that web account when registering attendance• If you change email addresses, update the web account, don’t create a new web
account, or your membership status may not be calculated properly– Record attendance using this URL:
https://imat.ieee.org/attendance

Report
I shouldn’t need to say this• Only record attendance for meetings you have
substantially attended (i.e. 75% of that meeting’s active duration).
• Recording attendance for meetings you have not attended is a breach of our rules, and a breach of your professional ethics.
• From time to time, I perform cross-checks between those claiming credit and those present at meetings.
• I usually find a number of people who have broken our rules and are not meeting their ethical obligations.
• I take corrective action in these cases.

for each task group.• Write access to the reflectors allowed for those who are
members with status: aspirant, nearly-voter, potential-voter, voter.
• To make a request, visit the reflector request page:http://www.ieee802.org/11/Reflector.html

802.11 Assigned Numbers Authority (ANA)
• The 802.11 ANA is Adrian Stephens• The purpose of the ANA is to ensure we have no
conflicts for numbers between parallel 802.11 developments. Such a conflict has the potential to create interoperability problems.
• The ANA Process: – Request by TG Editor (or TG chair) to ANA– ANA checks for conflicts with TG Editors– ANA issues revised spreadsheet showing any changes

Report
WG Balloting - ePoll• Each WG letter ballot sequence (i.e., task group) has its own
voting pool set to the voting members of 802.11 at the time the ballot first reaches 75% approval.
– I get asked all the time “should I vote on this ballot”– The answer is “go check the voters list published with each and every
ballot”. There’s a link on the 802.11 home page during the ballot.
• The mechanism we will use to collect votes/comments is the ePoll mechanism provided by the IEEE-SA.
– Use either individual comments or the template .csv spreadsheet provided.– Can also supply comments using .xls format– You will need to sign in using your IEEE-SA web account– Last ballot (LB187) was successful – people seem to be getting
used to the technology quickly.
• If you are new to writing comments or comment resolutions, please see document 11-11/1625.

Report
Reciprocal Credit• An 802.11 voting member will get attendance credit for
attending any of the following groups:– 802.18 (Radio Regulatory TAG)– 802.19 (Coexistence WG)– OmniRAN ECSG SG– 802.24 (Smart Grid TAG)
• Note that this means you can maintain 802.11 voting status while attending these groups, but you cannot gain 802.11 voting status.
• For 802.18 / 802.19 / ECSG SG attendance – There should be an option under IMAT to record reciprocal credit.

Telecons – Webex trial
• We have used IEEE-SA supplied Webex sessions for roughly half the 802.11 telecons over the last two months– Includes REG ad-hoc and HEW SG “large” telecons
• A few issues with the setting up resulted in some groups using their own coordinates.
• IEEE-SA have indicated that the trial has ended, and no further IEEE-SA supplied Webex sessions will be provided until further notice.

TGac drafts
• Because TGac has been approved, the TGac drafts will be removed from the local server and the TGac private area will be removed from the 802.11website.
• This removal will happen after this meeting.
• If you want a copy of the TGac drafts, for posterity, as a treatment for insomnia, or <insert your own reason here>, act now.

Report
Convention on document access• Currently our operations manual states that write access to the
mentor file server is limited to active participants (aspirants, potential voters, voters).
• A reason to not allow public write access is that contributors need to have been informed about IEEE rules on IP & copyright and to follow 802.11 documentation guidelines.
• Someone who was involved in a project who stops coming and loses membership can no longer post documents.
• This is a hindrance if we ask somebody to help with maintenance, e.g. 802.11ad members contributing to REVmc.
• Proposal: to allow formerly-active members write access to mentor.
• By the same logic: allow formerly-active members to join reflectors.

Report
TGaj Inaugral voters• 29 members attended the TGaj inaugural meeting
(Sept 2012).• Non-voters were granted immediate voting status – i.e.,
they are treated as an exception to the normal rules requiring “2 of 4 plenaries”.
• This exception will be removed after the March 2014 Plenary.
• This means they must meet the “2 of 4 plenaries” rule after March to maintain voting membership.
• Attendance at the January China Interim and March China Plenary suffices to maintain voting membership.
