  1. Security Standing Committee Clint Chaplin, Symbol Technologies

  2. Security SC Charter, Pt. 1: • This SC is formed as an advisory committee on Security in WLANs to the IEEE 802.11 chair • Serve as a forum to ensure that security within IEEE 802.11 is maintained as the standard is amended

  3. Security SC Charter, Pt. 2: • Interactions include accountability to the IEEE 802.11 Chair, as well as an appointed liaison to individual task groups and possibly other 802 WGs. • Monitor external security dependencies. • Explore alternate mechanisms for fulfilling goals (802.11 TAG?) • Membership ideally should include members with strengths in different aspects of security

  4. Security SC Charter, Pt. 3: • Operating Rules – as defined by IEEE 802.11 Operating Rules of IEEE Project 802 Section 5 802.11 Standing Committee(s) and Robert’s Rules on Committees, Section 50 • Committee life time – review on an every other year basis; timed to coincide with IEEE 802.11 officer elections • Decision Making – per 802.11 rules • Membership – open to all; 802.11 voting rights not needed • Logistics – requested meeting hours (approximately 8 hours at discretion of WG Chair) at interim and plenary WG meetings

  5. Examples of Security Standing Committee work items that have been proposed: • Develop a Security Guidance Document to provide general IEEE 802.11 security properties (e.g. threat models, confidentiality, integrity, authentication, authorization, encryption, protection against common attacks) • Using the Security Guidance Document as a basis, provide analysis and recommendations on future direction and current proposals with IEEE 802.11 liaisons • Create a security check list to be used to judge the security of drafts and submissions; the results of this judging would be made available to the WG membership and EXCOM

  6. Move to recommend that the IEEE 802.11 WG chair form a Wireless LAN Security standing committee as described in document 11-04/008r3. Mover: Dave Nelson Second: Al Potter Result: 31-0-1

  7. A committee is a body of one or more persons assembled to consider, investigate, or take action on certain matters or subjects. The term committee commonly applies to a relatively small number of persons appointed to give a task more detailed attention than is possible is a body the size of the assembly. Ordinary committees may be of the types “standing” or “special” Standing committees have a continuing existence and do not go out of existence after the completion of a specified task. If the committee is to do more than report its findings or recommendations to the assembly, it may be empowered to act for the society only on specific instructions In the absence of special conditions appointment of committees by the chair is the usually the best method in large assemblies Members of a standing committee are appointed for a term corresponding to that of the officers.
