IEEE 802 would like to update you on some of its recent activities.

The IEEE 802 Plenary took place in San Diego, CA, USA on 16-21 July 2006. The attendance was approximately 1300. For a high-level summary of the results, I refer you to the session reports at:

        http://ieee802.org/minutes/jul2006

Please feel free to circulate this information. We welcome your suggestions on how we can increase contacts and communications with Chinese standardization bodies, including at the detailed technical level.

Some highlights are presented in the attachment. I would like to call your particular attention to the activities in the 802.1 and 802.15 Working Groups, since they are directly related to China.

I would also like to inform you that the IEEE has decided to proceed with the development of an IEEE China Office, to be located in the Haidian District of Beijing. This “representative office” will primarily support the activities of the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Standards Association.

IEEE 802 renews its invitation for collaboration in the development of networking standards, including wireless LAN standards. IEEE 802 appreciates the contributions that have been made to its progress by Chinese professionals and seeks enhanced participation by Chinese technical experts. It also welcomes information on the technical requirements of the Chinese government and marketplace.

Best regards,

Roger B. Marks
IEEE 802 China Liaison Official
