  4. The issue is that presenter represents himself, not 802.11 or the IEEE-SA. But copyright rules provide a license to the IEEE to re-use, not the individual making a presentation in a non-IEEE context.
  5. Would need some kind of formal request/permission before material can be presented and reproduced in a procedings.

  3. Expect IEEE education to review our collateral and identify if any material is suitable for use as a webinar.
