5. If anyone in this meeting is personally aware of the holder of any patent claims that are potentially essential to implementation of the proposed standard(s) under consideration by this group and that are not already the subject of an Accepted Letter of Assurance: Either speak up now or Provide the chair of this group with the identity of the holder(s) of any and all such claims as soon as possible or Cause an LOA to be submitted Call for Potentially Essential Patents

12. Business #2 • Review of minutes • Budapest F2F minutes • https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0034-00-00TG-may-2016-f2f-meeting-minutes.docx • No comments raised to the minutes when showing the document. • Reports • 5G SC status • Chair reported about the focus of 5G SC to only address option 4 (IMT-2020 submission of 802.11 together with external SDO) and a variant of option 1 making use of ITU-R WP-5A work item on RLAN to establish IEEE 802 technologies as non-IMT-2020 complement to 5G • A special session is being prepared for the upcoming San Diego F2F meeting to discussion WP-5A approach and potential specification demand on networking aspects. • Rich Kennedy (chair of RR-TAG) as well as Yonggang Fang (presenter of proposal at the Waikoloa meeting) have been invited for the special meeting. Final confirmation of Rich is pending. • Other reports • No other reports given

13. Business #3 • P802.1CF contributions • Review and acceptance of updated contributions • https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0039-00-CF00-key-concepts-of-accounting-and-monitoring.pptx • Wang Hao presented through slides based on the functional description template his thoughts on the chapter content. The proposed content was well received with discussion coming up on how the chapter would describe performance management aspects going beyond plain layer 1&2 aspects of IEEE 802 technologies. • A written contribution based on the presented thoughts was invited for the San Diego meeting. Performance managements aspects will be more thoroughly discussed based on the written contribution. • https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0038-00-CF00-sdn-chapter.docx • The chair introduced the updated contribution of Antonio showing the amendments which were added due to the discussions in the Budapest F2F meeting. As all open issues has been addressed in the revision, the group agreed to include this contribution as complete replacement of the previous text in the editor’s draft D0.1

14. Business #4 • P802.1CF contributions, cont. • Review and acceptance of updated contributions • https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0036-00-CF00-an-setup-over-unlicensed-band.docx • Yonggang presented his proposal for text replacing the current section 7.1.4 with new text on Access network setup and release procedure as well as proposing a new chapter 7.1.5 on Virtual access network instantiation and release procedure. • Discussion of 7.1.4 text proposal brought up a few serious issues of making ambiguous use of terminology and references to non-defined network elements. Yonggang was asked to deliver a revision cleaning up the use of ‘service provider’ by replacing it where appropriate by ‘access network operator’ and by removing ‘SPN’ in all the messaging flows. Service provider related information may be made available by manual configuration in the NMS. • The group agreed to replace current chapter 7.1.4 by the proposed text when a revision is submitted within the next week addressing the discussed ambiguities. • No conclusion could be reached regarding proposal for 7.1.5 as during Budapest F2F it was concluded that network instantiation does not belong to the scope of chapter 7 functional description. However it was agreed to address the topic in an annex to the specification. Discussion on the content of such annex eventually adoption proposed text for 7.1.5 will continue in San Diego F2F. • https://mentor.ieee.org/omniran/dcn/16/omniran-16-0037-00-CF00-network-function-virtualization.docx • The discussion of the text proposal on NFV was postponed to San Diego F2F due to running out of time. • Group agreed to extend the conference call by 30mins to allow for completion of urgent business.
