James has delegated to me to conduct a LMSC 10-day electronic ballot on the motion below to approve the comments to the administration.  This EC motion is per IEEE 802 OM 7.2.1 Procedure, P&P 7.1 b) (majority response) and P&P 7.1.2 (2/3 approval of votes cast) for communication with government bodies and public statements.  With that we would like to see everyone respond.

Subject: +++LMSC review+++ a draft submission to Australia ACMA's consultation
To: <STDS-802-LMSC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>


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 5 November 2025, Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) began a consultation that solicits public opinions on the following matters related to the use of AFC (Automatic Frequency Coordination) at the 6 GHz band:
  • the respective roles of government and industry
  • potential licensing and authorisation frameworks
  • system, technical and operational considerations
  • benefits and risks to users and incumbents
  • planning matters, such as geographic and frequency arrangements.
A few individuals prepared a response to the administration's proposal and answered all of the questions.  The submission was approved by IEEE 802.18 on 13 January 2026 with the following voting results:  20 Yes, 0 No, 3 Abstain.

Link to the draft response:

Reference:

Please kindly let me know if you have any comments or suggestions preferably by Tuesday, 20 January 2026.

Thanks and Regards,
Edward
