[STDS-802-11-CAC] Information about referencing 802.11 Draft specifications.



--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Chairs' Advisory Committee Reflector ---
Greetings,
  I have had a question about referencing 802.11 Draft Specifications by outside organizations.  I worked with Jonathan Goldberg to get a response.  I wanted to share with you all to ensure we are all on the same page.

The question posed:
When referencing a draft spec., can the extraction of the materials within the draft spec be used as part of the referencing ? e.g. quoting some Mandatory/optional PHY modes.

The IEEE-SA official response:
Documents can always be referenced, however, it is recommend to included a note that the drafts are subject to change.
There is additional process required for sharing of the draft or usage of text from the draft as it is an IEEE work product and falls under the IEEE SA copyright policy.
Any requests for copies or usage of an IEEE draft standard or its contents need to be shared with the IEEE Copyright team for review and approval. This includes quoted material.
Regards,
Jon
