ExCom members,
I am posting the email dialogue between myself,
the Task Group P Chair (Lee Armstrong) made at my request to answer Roger’s
points on his vote.
As you can see I agree with Roger’s minor
edits which we would like to amend with, but have an exception to the deleted paragraph
as shown below respectfully.
Regarding the PAR, Bob correctly pointed
to the NesCom PAR site for the approved document, and we take his issues to
heart, and disagree one more time with Rogers’
delete paragraph.
/ Stuart

I continue to assert that the paragraph is presumptuous. I am not debating
your claim that many interested parties are trying to encourage the result.
However, you don't have a result yet because you don't have a standard. You
have a standardization project. You can't control who comes into it or what
they decide when they ballot. If you declare the result beforehand, you imply
that the process is rigged. That's a bad message to send.
If the consensus develops the way you are certain it will, then you'll
be doing another press release in a few months, declaring victory.

Stuart,
The questionable paragraph refers to using WAVE in the US National ITS
Architecture. I recommend keeping this paragraph for the following reasons.
The PAR does refer to the ITS Architecture, and this is very important for both
political and business reasons. Being an "official" part of ITS means
that there is full support from the US government for deploying this technology
and encouraging its use. This support includes funding for building the
infrastructure throughout the country. This takes it beyond being just a
"good idea" or something a few manufacturers want to push.
The complete PAR entry for question 14 is (emphasis added):
14a. Reason: While there is a priority within North America to support the US National
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture, the
intent is to develop an amendment to IEEE 802.11 that will be applicable on a
global basis. The proposed project is coordinated with ISO TC204/WG16 to ensure
global applicability. Within the IEEE 802 context, Wireless Access in Vehicular
Environments(WAVE)
refers to what was previously called Dedicated Short Range Communications (DSRC).
The National ITS
Architecture has identified DSRC as a primary means of communicating between
the roadside and vehicles, and from one vehicle to another.
There are a very large number of applications planned within the ITS domain
(ITS services), including collision avoidance, traveler information, toll
collection, commercial vehicle operations, transit operations, and traffic
management. In addition to these ITS applications, WAVE is expected to support
another very large set of applications that would be of broader interest to
motorists and those interested in providing services to these motorists. Some
of these applications would be using the WAVE device as a means of connecting
the vehicle to the Internet. The US DoT, most of the major automobile
manufacturers, public agencies throughout North America, DSRC device
manufacturers, and many potential service providers have been involved in the
DSRC program and actively support it. Some of the largest automobile manufacturers
are developing plans leading to inclusion as standard equipment on new cars
beginning as soon as possible (as early as the 2008 model year). In addition,
many state and local government agencies are planning to install the roadside
infrastructure. Thus, for North America, plans are already underway that would
result in the widespread deployment of roadside access points and to have WAVE
radios installed in cars, either as built in by the manufacturer or as an
aftermarket installation. In addition, there are rail and transit agencies that
are involved and planning to use these standards.
Saying that this will be implemented as part of the national ITS
program is not presumptuous because it is a combination of the automobile
manufacturers and the US DoT that are pushing for this standard, with hundreds
of millions (some are saying billions) to be spent on it as soon as the
standard can be completed. As for the concern that there is not yet a draft,
there is an existing standard, ASTM E2213-03, that has been excepted by all
parties involved (device manufacturers, automobile industry, and DoT). As
stated in the PAR, this ASTM standard is being used as the basis for P802.11p,
with only those changes necessary to make it a part of 802 instead of being a stand-alone
standard. With this as a basis, the full draft will be presented at the
November meeting and should be ready for balloting shortly thereafter.
Regards,

Lee,
Please provide urgently your reactions to the Paragraph Roger has deleted
in the Attached document. This is a 10 day ExCom ballot and therefore I
need your answer immediately.
As to the other changes that Roger has made I can accept.

I vote Disapprove. I will change my vote to Approve if the changes
indicated in the attachment are made.
In one case, I have added a rationale. In other cases, I can explain
the rationale upon request.
