PARs that have been circulated to the IEEE 802 LMSC. Once approved or disapproved by the
IEEE 802 LMSC, PARs and supporting material should be removed from the public URL.
Supporting material shall be available in sufficient detail for members of other Working Groups
to understand if they have an interest in the proposed PAR (i.e., if they would like to contribute
to/participate in the proposed work, or identify if there is conflict with existing or anticipated
work in their current Working Group).
It is highly recommended that a tutorial be given at a previous plenary session for major new
work items.
Working Groups, other than the proposing Working Group, shall express concerns to the
proposing Working Group as soon as possible and shall submit comments to the proposing
Working Group and the IEEE 802 LMSC by e-mail not later than 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday of the
plenary session.
The proposing Working Group shall post a response to commenting Working Group and to the
IEEE 802 LMSC together with a Final PAR on a public website and circulate the relevant URL
on the IEEE 802 LMSC reflector not later than 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday of the plenary session.
It will be assumed that insufficient coordination and/or inter-Working Group consideration had
occurred prior to the submission of the PAR if this deadline is not met, and the proposed PAR
will not be considered by the IEEE 802 LMSC at the closing IEEE 802 LMSC meeting.
9.4 Withdrawn PARs
Occasionally a PAR is withdrawn. When a PAR and its associated Project is to be withdrawn,
the responsible Working Group chair in consultation with the Working Group shall consider
whether the most current draft has content that should be archived.
10. Procedure for ICAIDs
10.1 IEEE-SA standards board approval
An industry connections activity is authorized by the IEEE-SA Standards Board upon
recommendation by the Industry Connections Committee (ICCom). ICCom requires the IEEE
802 LMSC to approve the Industry Connections Activity Initiation Document (ICAID). This
section describes the IEEE 802 process for approving an ICAID.
Information on ICCom and the ICAID form can be found at:
http://standards.ieee.org/about/sasb/iccom/index.html
10.2 IEEE 802 LMSC approval
A proposed ICAID and supporting documents shall be submitted to the IEEE 802 LMSC via the
IEEE 802 LMSC email reflector for review no less than 30 days prior to the day of the opening
IEEE 802 LMSC meeting of an IEEE 802 LMSC plenary session. The submittal message should
include Internet links to the required submittal documents. Presence of the submittal message in
the reflector archive (with time stamp) is evidence of delivery.
At the discretion of the IEEE 802 LMSC Chair, ICAIDs may be submitted in parallel to ICCom
when the IEEE 802 LMSC Closing meeting date allows the ICAID to be removed from
consideration prior to ICCom recommendation to the Standards Board.
