  2. Study Group Scope Study Group assignment is defining PAR scope & purpose and preparing 5 Criteria. Be aware that the projects with sweeping scope tend to take a long time to complete and potentially lose the interest or support of the stakeholders that initiated the project.

  3. HEW SG operate under the rules defined in: • 802 LMSC Policy & Procedures subclause 5.3, • 802 LMSC Operations Manual subclause 4.3, • 802.11 Operations Manual clause 5 • HEW SG participation is open to all • 802.11 voting rights is NOT required to attend, participate, motion and vote on HEW SG matters. • All votes on motions require 75% approval to pass Recall of SG rules Osama Aboul-Magd (Huawei Technologies)

  4. 802 Policies & Procedures 5.3 Study Groups Study groups are formed when enough interest has been identified for a particular area of study, such as a new access method or modified use of an existing access method. Two types of Study Groups are specified: a)An Executive Committee Study Group (ECSG) is initiated by vote of the Sponsor, and the ECSG Chair is appointed by the Sponsor Chair and is confirmed by the Sponsor. The ECSG Chair has the same responsibilities as a WG Chair but does not have Sponsor voting rights. b)A Working Group Study Group (WGSG) is initiated by vote of the WG and approved by the EC. The WGSG Chair is appointed and approved by the WG. WGSGs may also be formed by TAGs. The Study Group shall have a defined task with specific output and a specific time frame established within which it is allowed to study the subject. It is expected that the work effort to develop a PAR will originate in an ECSG or WGSG. A Study Group shall report its recommendations, shall have a limited lifetime, and is chartered plenary session-to-plenary session. A study group is expected to submit a PAR to the EC for consideration by the 2nd plenary session after its initiation. After the Study Group recommendations have been accepted by the parent body, the Study Group will be disbanded no later than the end of the next plenary session. The decision of whether to utilize an existing WG, or to establish a new WG to carry out recommended work items shall be made by the EC with due consideration of advice from the Study Group.

  5. 802 Operations Manual 4.3 Study Groups 4.3.1 Study Group Operation Progress of each Study Group shall be presented at the closing Sponsor meeting of each IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session by the appropriate WG, TAG, or ECSG Chair. Study Groups may elect officers other than the Chair, if necessary, and will follow the general operating procedures for WGs specified in the IEEE 802 LMSC WG P&P. Because of the limited time duration of a Study Group, no letter ballots are permitted. 4.3.2 Voting at Study Group Meetings Any person attending a Study Group meeting may vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR). A vote is carried by 75% of those present and voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.”

  6. 802 Operations Manual (1) • 5 Study Groups • 5.1 Function • The function of a Study Group (SG) is to complete a defined task with specific output and in a specific time frame. Once this task is complete, the function of the SG is complete and its charter expires. • The normal function of a SG is to draft a complete PAR and five criteria (see rules5) and to gain approval for them from the 802.11 WG,. The decision of whether to utilize the 802.11 WG or to establish a new WG, TG, or TAG to carry out work items recommended by a SG is made by the 802 EC with advice from the 802.11WG. • 5.2 Formation • A SG is formed when sufficient interest has been identified for a particular area of study within the scope of 802.11WG. The first step in the process is a call for interest. Any WG member or observer can make this at the 802.11 WG opening plenary. An 802.11 SG can then be initiated by 50% approval of the 802.11 WG and is subject to approval by the 802 EC. During this approval process the 802 EC decides whether a SG is within the scope of 802.11 WG, should be moved to another WG or should be set up as a 802 Executive Committee Study Group.

  7. 802 Operations Manual (2) • Study Groups • 5.3 Continuation • A SG exists for up to 8 months. If it has not completed its work within that time, a request must be made to the WG for an extension for up to additional 6 months. Any request for SG extension is voted upon at a 802.11WG closing plenary. • 5.4 Study Group Operation • SG follow the operating procedures for TG specified above with the following exceptions detailed below. • 5.4.1 Study Group Meetings • SG meetings held as part of an 802.11 WG Plenary or Interim sessions count towards 802.11 WG voting rights. • 5.4.2 Voting at Study Group Meetings • Any participant attending a SG meeting may participate in SG discussions, make motions and vote on all motions (including recommending approval of a PAR and five criteria). A vote is carried by 75% of those present voting “Approve” or “Disapprove.” • Note that the LMSC WG P&P sets a threshold of 75% for all votes in a study group, regardless of the type of that vote. This takes precedence over the usual Robert’s Rules of Order thresholds for procedural votes. • 5.4.3 Reporting Study Group Status • Progress of the SG is presented at the closing 802 EC meeting of each IEEE 802 plenary by the WG Chair.
