RE: [802.21] contributions for upcoming May 2004 meeting - Liaison letters
Although there is a submission already proposing the list of .21 liaisons to be established...
While the value of direct WG to standards groups is clear, it is a concern that as we have direct liaisons from .1, .11 (perhaps multiple from within this group of Tags), .16, .20, .21 etc to each of the needed SDO's (not to mention point to point with each other), we overwhelm them and fail to coordinate/build consensus amongst ourselves.
.21 is sensitive to this need, as we will not be able to reach a consensus on 802-wide triggers, hints, handover models, etc without coordination and perhaps (though merely a speculation) some authority.
Since the LMSC is the only point where all the liaisons overlap as defined below, the LMSC chair would need to provide or initiate the technical and organizational consensus building.
Could the 802 create a position or two to aid the LMSC chair in this ?
Best Regards,
Michael Williams
IEEE 802.21 Vice Chair

Liaison letters
I don't think there is a particular liaison letter format. You might
want to take a look at recent liaison letters that 802.16 sent off for
an example.
The LMSC rules specifically address how a WG must do liaison letters. I
think the following is what matters..
"Working Group communications
- Working Group communications with external standards bodies that are
not "Information Only" shall be copied to the SEC.
- Working Group communications with external standards bodies shall not
imply that they represent the position of IEEE or IEEE 802. They shall
be issued by the Working Group Chair and the LMSC Chair shall be
included in the distribution list.
SEC members receiving incoming liaison letters from external standards
bodies shall forward a
copy to the LMSC Chair.
Informal communications shall not imply that they are a formal position
of IEEE 802 or of the
working group."

letters
Dear 802.21 members:
Lucent (Ajay and I) are planning to drat a liaison letter contribution
to 3GPPP and 3GPP2 stating 802.21 objectives. The aim is to seek their
cooperation just in time as 3GPP is drafting HSDPA to UMTS handoff
mechanism and 3GPP2 is looking into HRPD to CDMA2000 handoff methods.
Any objections? does anyone wish to join the effort/contribution?
DJ, Ajay, others: Is there a liaison IEEE letter format we should
follow?
