  1. 802-11 WG Technical Editor’s Report January 2004 Plenary Meeting Terry Cole, AMD (WG technical editor status will be reported all this year with revisions of this same document number) Terry Cole, AMD

  2. 802.11 Maintenance Guidelines • Two parallel activities keep 802.11 up to date: • TGm -- Maintenance Task Group • Functional and technical amendments are output • Technical corrections and changes • Generally not editorial changes • Amendments only • PAR owned by TGm • WG Activity led by WG editor • Document publication status • Drive editions, revisions, and reaffirmations • Editorial changes (technical oversights on revisions also) • Not functional changes • Full documents only (not amendments) • Revision PAR (when needed) owned by WG Terry Cole, AMD

  3. Activities of WG Editor • Documents for publication: • IEEE publication status • Editions / Revisions/ Reaffirmations as periodically needed • ISO drafts as needed • Electronic attachments of 802.11 • Maintain Information (as WG documents): • List of potential editorial errata and proposed editorial changes • List of current editorial work in all TGs (help coordinate overlaps) • Coordinate balloting and publishing processes for: • Reaffirmations and revision (including PAR generation) • ISO approval process • Motions as needed in WG Terry Cole, AMD

  4. Publication Status • No new documents published since last time • No documents pending IEEE-SA publication • No documents currently in REVCOM queue for approval Terry Cole, AMD

  5. Draft Availability • Available as of 9/12 from IEEE web: • 802.11i D3.0 & D7.0 • As new drafts are created by motion, many TGs are releasing the documents to IEEE for publication and sale • This generates funds that ultimately support get802 program • TGs should discuss and make recommendation if the draft is appropriate for sale Terry Cole, AMD

  6. Edition Activities • Editions • No editions are planned at this time • Publication of amendments has higher priority than editions • Agreement between EXCEOM and IEEE-SA staff • 802.11g and 802.11h do not trigger a new roll-up edition • This is a business decision of IEEE-SA • Reaffirmations / Revisions • No revisions are planned at this time • Approval of 802.11e, 802.11k, 802.11i and 802.11m may be a good trigger point for a revision containing all approved amendments • Revision PAR request must be made well in advance • New SA rules recently passed regarding requirements for revision– impact must be understood by staff and will be reported in future Terry Cole, AMD

  7. Internationalization • ISO drafts • ISO version of 802.11-1999 (2003 edition) • 2003 Reaff roll-up has been submitted for ISO approval. • Next step is to receive comments or notification of approval. • Terry Cole and Stuart Kerry are project leaders. • Staff will create the ISO document after ISO approval • Because of international interest in 802.11i, we expect to submit 802.11g, 802.11h, and or 802.11i to ISO for approval at earliest possibility. Terry Cole, AMD

  8. Electronic Attachments • Interactive PICS • First Ever in IEEE! • Allows electronic input of PICS options and text • User can save, print, etc. Feedback welcomed. • SDL • Updated version for 802.11-1999 (2003 edition) available on 2003 IEEE 802.11 Value Pack CD • Does not compile -- no better or worse than original 802.11-1999 • 802.11g modifications will be done when needed for internal 802.11 WG use • MIB • Updated version for 802.11-1999 (2003 edition) available on 2003 CD • Does compile • 802.11g/h modifications have been done for internal 802 WG use Terry Cole, AMD
