Time is
approaching for the March IEEE 802 Plenary meeting. Since we have received
IEEE SA approval we are now IEEE 802.21 and so the session number has reverted
to 1. The title of the web page has been adjusted
accordingly.
I have been at the
IETF this week and I have received good input from the mobopts (IP Mobility
Optimizations) and the dna (Detection of Network Attachments) groups
concerning requirements for 802.21. I will be presenting material based on
that.
In addition I
have seen early versions of .21 submissions on architectural issues to
support detection and triggers.
In keeping with
the decision at the last meeting that we would concentrate on
architecture, use cases, requirements etc. I would like to request that people
attempt to slant their contributions in
those directions.
The other
important activity we will be engaging in is the officer elections for Chair
and Vice Chair. I will be posting the rules on the web site shortly. Please
review them and comment if you have issues with the procedures. The elections
will be held at the closing 802.21 plenary on Thursday afternoon. Attendance
at 4 802.21 meetings in the week in addition to attendance at the closing
plenary will be required to achieve voting rights to participate in the
elections, in accordance with the LMSC rules.
Regards,
DJ
