CID 3016 from Sponsor Ballot recirculation one was discussed. Draft resolutions of most comments from that recirculation were produced at the Orlando 802.11 meeting. The following draft resolution to CID 3016 was collectively composed:

Revise: Add bullet to 11.3.5.3 after bullet "h)" saying "An AP or PCP may refuse GLK association based on local policy and, if so, shall return the GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED ResultCode." and add GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED to the list of ResultCode values for MLME-ASSOCIATE.response in 6.3.7.5.2. Remove GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED from the Reason Code table. And add GLK_NOT_AUTHORIZED to the Status Code table in 9.4.1.9 with meaning "The STA is not authorized to use GLK per local policy."

It was noted that we need to find any other types of GLK links (Mesh, etc.) that may need to be mentioned in the draft in connection with resolving CID 3016.

Since it had been planned to finish comment resolution on this call but that was not accomplished, a possible additional teleconference late in the week after next was discussed but it was decided to just go with the already scheduled December 11th call that would only be a few days later. That December 11th call may be extended to more than 1 hour.

Adjourned at 10:00.
