Subject: Update on IEEE 802 Activities
Date: XX September 2006
IEEE 802 would like to update you on some of its recent activities.
The IEEE 802 Plenary took place in San Diego, CA, USA on 16-21 July
2006.
The attendance was approximately 1300. For a high-level summary of the
results, I refer you to the session reports at:
<http://ieee802.org/minutes/jul2006>
http://ieee802.org/minutes/jul2006
Please feel free to circulate this information. We welcome your
suggestions on how we can increase contacts and communications with
Chinese standardization bodies, including at the detailed technical
level.
Some highlights are presented in the attachment. I would like to call
your particular attention to the activities in the 802.1 and 802.15
Working Groups, since they are directly related to China.
I would also like to inform you that the IEEE has decided to proceed
with the development of an IEEE China Office, to be located in the
Haidian District of Beijing. This "representative office" will primarily
support the activities of the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE
Standards Association.
IEEE 802 renews its invitation for collaboration in the development of
networking standards, including wireless LAN standards. IEEE 802
appreciates the contributions that have been made to its progress by
Chinese professionals and seeks enhanced participation by Chinese
technical experts.
It also welcomes information on the technical requirements of the
Chinese government and marketplace.
Best regards,
Roger B. Marks
