[802SEC] comments on 802 core mission statement

I agree with JonR, this is a good starting point, thank you for issuing this draft quickly.

a) add 'security and privacy protocols' and 'object positioning' to the Supplementary specification bullet.

b) replace 'regulatory contributions' with 'contributions to regulatory bodies'

c) I'm not sure what 'future looking documentation' means, please elaborate

d) replace 'maintain standards' with 'maintain high quality, market relevant network technology standards'

e) we should retain 'scope flexibility' to allow for as-yet-unknown features to become part of the 802 family

Furthermore, I think it will be helpful to remind ourselves of our current scope statement:

"The scope of the Standards Committee is to develop and maintain networking standards, recommended practices and guides for local, metropolitan, and other area networks, using an open and accredited process, and to advocate them on a global basis. Its technical scope is intended to be flexible and is ultimately determined by the sum of its approved PARs."

Subject: Re: [802SEC] 802 restructuring ad hoc 19JAN21 meeting notes

Action Item 1 says:
Geoff Thompson and Roger Marks to draft an 802 Core Mission Statement for circulation on the 802 EC reflector not later than 29 January 2021

Geoff and I drafted a statement that tries to distill the discussion. Our focus is a technical description:

IEEE 802 develops and maintain standards specifying data link and physical layer protocols to support packet transmission and delivery among network-layer clients.
  • Protocols are specified for various physical channels with sufficient detail to allow multivendor interoperability across the interfaces to the communication medium.
  • Interoperability is also specified for transmission of network-layer packets via a set of data links.
  • Supplementary specifications detail related functionality, including control, management, channel coexistence, and power distribution.
  • Supporting outputs include future-looking documentation, standards body interactions, and regulatory contributions.

Cheers,

Roger
