The Chair inquired if everyone was familiar with the IEEE 802 IPR policy and if there were any potentially essential patents, patent applications, or claims which participants should bring forward at this time. No-one indicated unfamiliarity with the policy and no new patents or applications were identified.

The Chair reviewed the proposed Agenda:

1. Attendance

2. IPR and other relevant IEEE policies (see pointers above).

3. Agenda for this call

4. Items scheduled:

4.a Santa Clara ad hoc logistics.

4.b Santa Clara ad hoc agenda 11-08/461r0

5. Adjourn

There were no objections or suggested additions to the Agenda.

4.a The Chair pointed out that a picture of the building where the ad hoc will be held appears in 11-08/461r0

4.b The Chair mentioned that the last entry in 11-08/461r0 for Friday, 9 May, says “Recess until Friday …” when it should say “Recess until Saturday …” and this would be fixed in r1.

It was suggested that organizing the comments from 802.11 Letter Ballot 126 should be an agenda item. The Chair indicated he would add it near the beginning of the tentative agenda.

The Chair mentioned that all votes that he had received indication of in LB 126 so far were Yes or Abstain except for one No vote with comments. [But it is common for most of the comments and No votes to come in very near the end of a Letter Ballot.]

The Chair asked if there were any further questions about the ad hoc. In response, it was asked what the details of parking arrangements would be. The Chair said he didn’t know but would find out and post to the TGs mailing list.

The Chair asked if there were any further topics for the call. There were none.

The Chair adjourned the call at 10:19.
