stds-802-16: Published: Cooperation Agreement between IEEE 802.16 and ETSIBRAN (Proposed)

["Roger B. Marks" <marks@boulder.nist.gov>]

At the invitation of 802.16, ETSI BRAN HIPERACCESS (BRAN-HA) held 
co-located meetings during last week's Session #7. Two Joint 
Meetings, along with small discussion group meetings, also took place.

The main result of this effort was an agreement between 802.16 and 
BRAN-HA to cooperate with the goal of producing a common standard. 
The specific output was a proposed addition to Annex 1 ("Technical 
co-operation covered by the Agreement") of the "Co-operation 
Agreement between ETSI and IEEE-SA" 
<http://ieee802.org/16/liaison/bran/IEEE_ETSI.pdf>.

This proposed agreement was accepted by IEEE 802.16 at the Closing 
Plenary of Session #7 on 5 May 2000. Following the Closing Plenary, 
in a Joint Meeting, ETSI BRAN HIPERACCESS indicated their acceptance 
of the same agreement. Both sides agreed to pursue approval, 802.16 
by seeking the approval of IEEE 802 and the IEEE-SA.

The document cited below provides the proposed agreement. I will 
pursue approval with the 802 Executive Committee.
