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. Discussion and review of Security and Open MAC area comments for
D1.0/D1.06 based on 11-07/23r45. Security Aspects:
4.1. key holder security association teardown proposal
4.2. GTK update proposal
4.3. suggested comment resolution for selected comments
5. Adjourn
There were no objections to the Agenda.
It was decided to allocate time on the call up to 6pm to security to allow some time for further consideration of MAC comments at the end.
4.1 Presentation: “Overview of Key Holder Security Association Teardown Mechanism “, 11-07/2376r0 (11-07/2372r0 word), Steve Emeott
Q: What happens if you have an SA that one side thinks is closed and the other side thinks is open?
A: Described recovery mechanisms handle that case.
4.2 Presentation: “Mesh Group Key Delivery Updates”, 11-07/2362r0, Tony Braskich
4.3 Presentation: “Suggested Security Comment Resolutions”, 11-07/2375r0, Tony Braskich
There were no comments on this presentation. The chair then asked if there was any objection to putting these resolutions into 11-07/23. The consensus on the call was to defer any such action to the Kaua‘i ad hoc.
Having completed the security comment items, the chair asked if any of the assignees for MAC comments (some of whom were assigned during call they were not on) had anything to present on their comments (or if they wanted to be removed as asingee).
Dee Denteneer said that work is being done on MDA related comments which is almost done. He asked that people look at 11-07/2375r0 which contains work so far.
We then proceeded from the last comment considered in last weeks teleconference using spreadsheet 11-07/23r45 filtered to Open MAC comments and sorted by ascending Issue Identifier.
The next issue identified was MIB. It was decided to defer these but to change the resolution column for all of the to “Defer-submission-needed”.
The Chair then noticed that all of the remaining MAC comments were related to Power Save and/or Synchronization. Especially since Kaz was not on the call, it was decided to take no action on these.
The Chair asked if there was any further business for the call. It was asked what the best procedure was in determining if a comment resolution is editorial. Such resolutions can be sent to the Chair (with copy to Steve Conner, Technical Editor) and he will make a preliminary determination as to whether they are editorial or not.
The Chair adjourned the call at around 18:00.
