4.       Review 802.11 agendas

a.       Fix aani doc

5.       Check doc status

a.       Snapshots

b.      Agendas

6.       TGmc status

a.       Approved comment resolutions to D7.0.  These included changes to D7.0.  A D8.0 was produced and is in ballot.

                                                               i.      Completes 8^th September

                                                             ii.      0 Comments so far

                                                            iii.      D8.0 implied extra work for TGai and TGah to update their cited revisions

7.       TGai status

a.       P802.11ai D10 is in ballot.

                                                               i.      52 comments received so far:  Marc Emmelmann, Mark Hamilton.   Some of these are MBS comments.

1.       Only a few are serious

a.       Wrong Category number

b.      A separate discussion thread identifies possible issues with PKEX.  Paul Lambert, Dan Harkins & Andy Lutomirski (not an 802.11 participant) have been involved.

                                                               i.      If this significantly changes TGai, then we should reverse TGah and TGai order (impact on TGah,  but contained).

                                                             ii.      What and when should be communicated to the WG as a whole?

                                                            iii.      Marc:  “it is broken” is exaggeration.  But there is a possible man in the middle attack when the same password phrase is used twice.  It should be fixable with one submission.

c.       Lee is speculatively editing D10.1.

                                                               i.      Needs careful review in D11

8.       TGah status

a.       Patiently waiting for TGmc and TGai to do their stuff

b.      In recirculation, closes 9 Sept.  

                                                               i.      2 MBS comments received related to Category Code.

1.       Notwithstanding that 802.11 Category Codes are administered by the ANA, TGai changed their Category Code and created a collision with TGah.  These comments attempt to resolve this by changing the Category Codes in TGah.

a.       Liaison.
