RE: stds-802-handoff: 802 Handoff Call for Contributions

["Albert Young" <ayoung212@attbi.com>]

Hi,
I believe maintaining or graceful adjustment of QoS in vertical roaming
would be another topic of interest. However, given the severe situation of
SAR disease in Asia, some companies have discouraged employees travelling to
those countries. Let's keep an eye on the updated decisions on the coming
meeting.
Thanks
Albert Young

Richard,

Emailing submissions direct to me is the best way right now. I'm trying to
get a submission form working on the web site.

I am not planning to be particularly strict on submission format. It is
after all a study group. The 802.11 format will of course be fine. I have an
internet draft that has been submitted, so that is obviously just ascii.
It'll go on the server this evening (assuming my wife doesn't fine anything
else for me to do). I'm just adding submissions manually at the moment. I'm
going to put up some boilerplate 802 style rules on document style when time
permits.

Templates might make their way onto the web site sometime but don't hold
your breath.

Thanks,
DJ
