• Promotion of the various Projects as well as the various PHY Layers, MAC Sublayers, and in the case of TG4 the 802.15.4 LLC is very complex.

• The WG needs to have a unified story and each Project needs to have its own story. These promotional stories should be complementary.

• Reviewing lessons learned from related WGs is highly suggested e.g., 802.3, 802.11, etc. and SDOs e.g. ETSI BRAN, etc.

Liaison Observation #2 – 802.15.4 LLC?

• 802.15.4 CFP review…• In reviewing –01/272r3, it appears this

contribution is promoting the PURL LLC as 802.15.4 LLC BUT you need to sign ZigBee agreement to access the ZigBee Spec. which includes PURL LLC a.k.a. 802.15.4 LLC.

• Also I believe this 802.15.4 LLC is out of scope for the 802.15.4 PAR? PHY/MAC only.

• “…-01/272r3 slide 27 & 28, suggests the upper layers are being invented by an 802 group. There is the possibility that 802.2 could adopt these alternate topological LLC methodologies, but 802.2 must define it, not 802.15.4. 802.51.4 can SUGGEST it, but it is not for them to decide.

• It is totally incorrect and unacceptable for an 802 WG to violate the fundamental premises of LMSC. Any and all 802 stack components must use the common 802.2 LLC.
