3. Guidelines for IEEE-SA Meetings • All IEEE-SA standards meetings shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including antitrust and competition laws. • Don’t discuss the interpretation, validity, or essentiality of patents/patent claims. • Don’t discuss specific license rates, terms, or conditions. • Relative costs, including licensing costs of essential patent claims, of different technical approaches may be discussed in standards development meetings. • Technical considerations remain primary focus • Don’t discuss or engage in the fixing of product prices, allocation of customers, or division of sales markets. • Don’t discuss the status or substance of ongoing or threatened litigation. • Don’t be silent if inappropriate topics are discussed… do formally object. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you have questions, contact the IEEE-SA Standards Board Patent Committee Administrator at patcom@ieee.org or visit http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/patcom/index.html See IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual, clause 5.3.10 and “Promoting Competition and Innovation: What You Need to Know about the IEEE Standards Association's Antitrust and Competition Policy” for more details.

5. IEEE 802 is a world-wide professional technical organization Meetings are to be conducted in an orderly and professional manner in accordance with the policies and procedures governed by the organization. Individuals are to address the “technical” content of the subject under consideration and refrain from making “personal” comments to or about the presenter. Meeting Etiquette

6. LMSC 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.”

11. #2Refined directions provided by EC • After some hefty discussions OmniRAN was extended until end of July ‘13 plenary. • The EC provided further guidance for the tasks of OmniRAN ECSG: Motion#28The EC considers that the primary tasks of the OmniRAN ECSG, to be completed by the close of the July Plenary, are: • To perform a gap analysis that shows what pieces of work that are relevant to 802 (standards and standards under development) are not covered by existing external SDOs  (IETF, 3GPP,...) and internal, and socialize that analysis with those SDOs; • Having performed that gap analysis, define a crisp scope of the ECSG (target 15 words or less); • Define what piece(s) of work within that scope (a) fall legitimately within 802's remit and (b) are achievable within an 802 activity.
