>>
>> In addition the IEEE 802 executive committee recommends the Computer
>> Society forward the following comments to the IEEE 1900 steering
>> committee and the IEEE Standards Board, on behalf of IEEE 802.
>>
>>
>> IEEE 802 appreciates that some future wireless standards will
>> incorporate dynamic spectrum access technologies. In fact, IEEE 802 has
>> a working group (802.22) developing a standard for unlicensed broadband
>> access operation on geographically unused channels in the television
>> bands, which incorporates dynamic spectrum access technologies.  IEEE
>> 802's only concern regarding the establishment of a standards
>> coordination committee (SCC) on dynamic spectrum access networks
>> (DySPAN) is any potential conflict between the SCC and activities, both
>> present and future, within IEEE 802.
>>
>> The IEEE 802 organization has a long history of development of wireless
>> networking standards. There are currently six wireless working groups
>> and two wireless technical advisory committees (TAGs) within IEEE 802.
>> If a SCC on DySPAN were to be established the IEEE 802 leadership needs
>> to be assured that the existence of such a SCC would not preclude IEEE
>> 802 from initiating and running new wireless projects within IEEE 802
>> which may incorporate dynamic spectrum access technologies.
>>
>> IEEE 802 has always been the place within the IEEE for standardizing
>> wired and wireless networking standards, and we believe that fundamental
>> networking standards are best handled within IEEE 802.  We are sure
>> there are many additional standards developments that can be covered in
>> the DySPAN SCC which will not conflict with the fundamental wireless
>> networking standards being developed within IEEE 802.
>>
>> In summary, IEEE 802 is fine with the establishment of the SCC on DySPAN
>> as long as the scope of work does not conflict with the work done in
>> IEEE 802.
