Dear IEEE 802 LMSC members,

Greetings.

I would like to request the review of the following draft IEEE 802 LMSC submission before asking the LMSC to consider approval of the submission tentatively via a letter ballot in the near future.

On 10 November 2025, Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) began a (follow-up) consultation on the Second Draft National Radio Frequency Plan (NRFP) 2025. When compared with the first NRPF that the administration planned to allocate 6425 MHz to 7125 MHz for IMT allocation, the administration added new texts about the possibility of WAS/RLAN at the same frequency band.

A few individuals prepared a response to commend the administration's proposal.  The submission was approved by IEEE 802.18 on 20 November 2025 with the following voting results:  11 Yes, 0 No, 1 Abstain.

Link to the draft response:

Please kindly let me know if you have any comments or suggestions preferably by this Saturday, 24 November 2025.

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
