| --- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---
It's not an issue of how "many" 802.11 voters might have access to this information, it's that it has not been supplied to support the request. I have no idea why it wasn't but it should've been. These are finite resources and there needs to be a justification for using up these finite resources. Who knows, maybe someone in the 802.11 WG will come up with a better way to do this feature after seeing what it is you want to do. A win-win possibility we should not preclude by rashly voting to approve. There is also precedence here. We can't get into the habit of rubber-stamping requests simply because there might be some overlap between members of the 802.11 WG and the requesting organization. "You want some finite resource to be assigned to you? OK, why and how will you use it?" That's eminently reasonable. regards, Dan.

Having said that, I voted
yes to these assignments because I have access to the specification due to my affiliated company being a member of Wi-Fi alliance and do not see a reason to wait. I suspect many of the 802.11 voters have access to WFA's AP validation spec and in any case the spec is an extension to SAE protocol to support AP authentication and has been reviewed by many 802.11 participants that also contribute to security work in 802.11. I guess it is upto each member to decide to wait for the specification to be available, but my recommendation (FWIW) is to approve these assignments.
