  1. IEEE 802-11 StandardRoll-up Report Terry Cole, AMD Monterey Closing Plenary (roll-up project will be reported all this year with revisions of this same document number) Terry Cole, AMD

  2. 802.11 2002 Specification • 802.11 2002 will include all existing amendments into a single document. • 802.11 1999 -802.11a • 802.11b -802.11b corrigendum 1 • 802.11d • The goal is to complete the work by end of year • IEEE staff reports that rules of REVCOM require reaffirmation or revision of our IEEE 802.11 standard ASAP because we have had more than 2 amendments in the first 2 years after publication. • REVCOM may disapprove any further amendments to 802.11 1999. Terry Cole, AMD

  3. Editing Work Plan • IEEE Editing staff will: • Graphic artist to draw the 802.11d related SDL changes as provided by WG • Technical writer to implement all changes provided by WG • Walk through all changes and get familiar with them • WG will: • Review document to see that requested corrections are in • Provide any last minute changes (send editorial corrections to me ASAP) • Barring no sticky issues, this can be done by mid to late October. Terry Cole, AMD

  4. Approval Process • We held a very good meeting with IEEE staff this week (Angela Ortiz et.al.) to discuss options: • Revision: • Requires approval of a revision PAR, form sponsor ballot, invite, ballot, resolve. • Reasonably optimistic timeline leads to closure of first ballot March 2003 • Reaffirmation: • Requires invitations to existing pool, ballot, resolution. • Reasonably optimistic timelines leads to ballot results in December 2002. • Because of the large timeline difference, IEEE staff and chair recommend the reaffirmation route. Terry Cole, AMD

  5. Overall Plan • A three step program will get us back into good shape on 802.11 amendments 1. Reaffirm all existing/approved amendments by December 2002. 2. All projects approved in 2003 & 2004 will be against the base document IEEE 802.11 2002 (802.11e, 802.11g, 802.11h, 802.11i, and future task groups) 3. Do the editorial work to roll-up each standard as soon as possible after it is published, and reaffirm the 802.11 standard again in the late summer/early fall of 2004. Repeat 2 & 3 in two year cycles. Terry Cole, AMD

  6. IEEE SDL Code • There is a catch to the reaffirmation process. • Reaffirmation apparently means we must continuing shipping the SDL code with the IEEE standard. • I redouble my plea for someone to find the 802.11b SDL code generated during the 1999 project! • Please search. • Finder will not need to do further work. • I will take care of things after it is found! Terry Cole, AMD
