The Chair convened the call at 17:05 EDT

The telecon announcement included the following informational pointers:

IEEE Patent Policy

Patent FAQ


Affiliation FAQ


Anti-Trust FAQ


Ethics

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 about which the 802.11 WG Chair should be informed. 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. Logistics for the 23-25 October ad hoc meeting
5. Draft 1.07 and comment spreadsheet 11-07/0023r50
6. Discussion of such submissions as are brought up by their author
7. Adjourn

There were no submissions or objections to the Agenda

4. Logistics for the 23-25 October ad hoc meeting

The Chair urged all to RSVP for the ad hoc. He will send out logistics information on the reflector again. The group may choose to cancel if the anticipated attendance is not great so please be sure to RSVP if you will be coming. Would like to see about 10 people. Currently there are fewer committed attendees than at the previous ad hoc meeting. There were no comments on the logistics or any updates to the RSVP list.

5. Draft 1.07 and comment spreadsheet 11-07/0023r50

Draft D1.07 is on the member’s area as is a red-line showing the changes. Also, a conversion of D1.07 to MS Word is available. The comment spreadsheet r50 only has the column changed relative to r49 showing that all changes have been edited into the draft. Any problems should be sent to the Chair.

The Chair continues to look for a replacement Technical Editor, which the TG would really like to replace at the start of the upcoming Atlanta meeting.

The Chair indicated that the TGr PM2 session has been swapped with a TGT session, relative to the schedule currently posted on the WG web site. The TGs agenda has not changed.

The Chair commented it would be possible at the upcoming meeting to reject all remaining comments to the Draft remaining at the end of the meeting and send it for re-circulation, with the resolution that further input on remaining comments was needed from the WG.

Steve Emeott still plans to prepare a presentation on Security for the next telecon. The Chair will also plans toupdate the PICS document for next week.

The Chair adjourned the call at 17:15.
