802.11

Technical Editors

Introduction

An IEEE 802.11 technical editor is a volunteer from the 802.11 membership who is responsible for producing the documents for balloting and approval by a project. The editor takes inputs in the form of submissions by 802.11 members, comment resolutions by comment resolution committees, requirements from the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) editorial staff, and requirements from the IEEE SA rules and style guide and artfully blends them together into a project's main output document.

Each project (i.e. task group) that produces an output document for approval by the IEEE SA has its own editor. In addition, a technical editor is appointed at the working group level to coordinate the activity of these editors.

This page contains links to resources that support the work of the 802.11 technical editors.

The Editors' meeting

The editors for active projects meet at each 802.11 session in order to review status, address any project-specific issues, review order of publication, and to decide on matters affecting consistency across the 802.11 projects. This meeting typically takes place at 7:00am on the Tuesday of an 802.11 session.

All editors of active projects are expected to be present. IEEE SA staff are usually present when this meeting coincides with an 802 plenary to give help and advice.

IEEE SA Editors' Resources

The IEEE SA provides many resources for IEEE SA project editors.

This page describes preparation and editing of standards.

IEEE 802.11 Editors' Resources

802.11 has various conventions, styles and processes that an 802.11 editor needs to be familiar with. Refer to document 11-11/0875 (The 802.11 Editors' Guide) for details.

The editors have an IEEE SA iMeet Central workspace. Please contact Robert Stacey if you want access to this site.
